public static void Validate.Exists(IElement)

Post by taralex » Wed Nov 12, 2008 8:41 pm

guys, help a noob, how do I validate if an element exists if the corresponding method is void? where do I get the result from?

and one more stupid question:
how do I get the AccessibleName, AccessibleValue, AccessibleState, etc values of an Element object?

The methods in the Validate class throw an exception if validation fails.

The Accessible capability is provided by the MSAA plugin. To use the adapter for a capability provided by a plugin, you have to add a reference to the plugin assambly. I.e., add a reference to the Ranorex.Plugin.Msaa assembly and then use the Accessible adapter, e.g.:

Code: Select all

Accessible myAccessibleElement = "/pathToAnElementWithCapabilityAccessible";
string accName = myAccessibleElement.AccessibleName;
