Hi,
I have an application in which I must press F8 so that a table view appears. Ranorex isn't able to identify the text elements in the table (even if I press Ctrl+Win in a cell) so I'm using image validation.
In this test I run the application, which get focus, load a file, wait 10 seconds, press F8, wait 10 seconds, and then perform the image validation step.
If I run the test as is, the application gets the focus and the image validation step fails.
If I run the test and change focus to Ranorex in the last wait 10 seconds step, the image validation step succeeds.
This seems to be a Ranorex bug. Can you please confirm this and suggest a workaround?
Logs attached.
Best regards,
Alex

Hi,
It's hard to say what's wrong without seeing your app and your recording (mainly the image validation settings). From what I see in report, the validated image looks considerably different from the validated table. Please make sure there is enabled "Use hidden screenshot capturing" option in Ranorex settings (Advanced tab). However, I don't think this will make any difference for you
BTW, I would personally not use screenshot validation for such complicated element like table. Maybe you just need to edit Ranorex settings to improve element recognition? Could you please upload a Ranorex snapshot of the table in question?

Hi,
It took so long for my first post to be approved that I forgot about it. Meanwhile I got some support from Ranorex and the solution was, and you're going to laugh, disabling "Use hidden screen capturing" .
In my case it appears that when "Use hidden screen capturing" is enabled, the screen capture is different from when I captured it during recording.
Thanks,
Alex
