Owner Drawn Combobox MSAA

[krause]

Hi Everyone,

i have an win32 native Application (or to be precise a wxWidgets Based) Application.
Because standard editable combox is not case sensitive, we decided to use an owner-drawn-combobox.

Unfortunately this is not recogniced very well by Spy and the recording tool of Ranorex Studio.

So i provided an MSAA Implementation for this element (COMBOBOX_ROLE,LIST_ROLE,LISTITEM_ROLE etc).

My Problem is the the popup-window will always be recognized by the controlid instead of the accesiblename.
This will lead to problems, because the controlid changes dynamically.

Is there a way to configurue Ranorex to use the accessiblename as path instead of controlid for a popupwindow ?

Hi Sven,

Sure, there is way to instruct Ranorex to prioritise different attribute, using xpath weight editor. Take a look at this blog post...

Thanks for the answer.

I already saw the weight settings, but have overseen to set the weight for native windows
It seems my problem is been solved now.
