Identify Elements Uniquely

[HA_N]

An existing application has an html table, within the body tag, there are multiple td tags with the same name

Ranorex isn't able to all of them to the repository, since all of them have the same XPath. (

How can I add these items to the repository?

I tried making a recording, the repository that was automatically created contained only one repository item..

NOTE: I cannot make any changes to the application

Hello,

You could try to use the integrated Ranorex Spy by tracking the parent tree node (TR), right click and choose “Add to Repository (incl. children).
Please let me know if this works.

I did try that . It does add the items, but yet again I was unable to identify them uniquely from my code.

In the end I just used FindChildren<Ranorex.OptionTag> and iterated through the List of OptionTags, identifying eaach one through the InnerText property that happened to be unique.
