Mouse.ClickControl on button click-event does not work

Schuco · Post by **Schuco** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 4:20 pm

When performing following code on a button click ( button5 )

Ranorex.Form form = Ranorex.Form.Active;
Ranorex.Button b1 = form.FindButton("button1");
Ranorex.Button b2 = form.FindButton("button2");
Ranorex.Mouse.ClickControl(b1);
Ranorex.Mouse.ClickControl(b2);

button1 gets the focus, but will not be clicked ...
What I've done wrong ?

Please check that the FindButton() method calls do not return null and that your buttons displayed correctly in the RanorexSpy (which is normally the case with buttons).

What kind of application are you automating: MFC, .NET, ... ?

It could help to use ClickControl() with "movetime" to check if the mouse is moving to the correct control.

It's a c# windows form.
The mouse is moving to button1 and the button gets the focus, but the click-event does not occur.

I'll try your suggestions tomorrow !
Thank you !

I've tried it, nothing, same effect, but no click - event occurs !

OK, button does not get the focus !
button2 gets the focus, from then it works even on button1, the first "Ranorex" - click after a human click does not work

I built a fake c# app with 2 buttons in it and a textbox to log the click.

The following code works for me:

Code: Select all

Form fake = Application.FindFormTitle("FakeApp");
Button b1 =  fake.FindButton("button1");
Button b2 = fake.FindButton("button2");

Mouse.ClickControl(b1);
Mouse.ClickControl(b2);

The only thing I can think of is your use of Form.Active. Try to use FindForm() instead.

If that doesnt work, please send your test app to [email protected].
