Insert time +15 minutes

[cs97jjm3]

hello i am testing a cancellations module which means i have to cancel a event before it happens in realtime (i know its a pain)

i have tried using excels now() formula which when imported in ranorex does not show as time format but as text like 04567289.

is there a simple way I can insert the time of insert say 1000 plus 15 minutes say 10:15


thanks in advance, please not i am not a coder.....

once again thanks in advance

Hi,

Could you please specify where exactly you want to insert the time? Ideally, please post a Ranorex snapshot (NOT screenshot) of the input element.

Generally speaking, you can use DateTime and Now to add minutes to the actual time. You can use code lie this to get the actual time + 15m...

Code: Select all

    System.DateTime startDate = System.DateTime.Now;
    string curTimePlusMins = startDate.AddMinutes(15).ToShortTimeString();

To set the time to element of your choice, you can use either KeySequence or SetValue action.

Hi,

Basically, must create a repo element with xpath like this:

/dom[@domain='test.mywebroster.com']/?/?/form[@name='frmEditRequirement']//input[@name='txtTimeFrom']

Then you must assign repo element as argument of method like this:

Code: Select all

public static void SetTimePlusMinutes(RepoItemInfo repoElement)
    {
        System.DateTime startDate = System.DateTime.Now;
        string curTimePlusMins = startDate.AddMinutes(15).ToString("HH:mm");;
        repoElement.CreateAdapter<Ranorex.Unknown>(false).PressKeys(curTimePlusMins);	
    }

Hope this helps?
