RanorexSpy: Why are some Windows shown twice?

[MillionsterNutzer]

Hi!

I'm new to Ranorex and was wondering why some application windows are listed twice in Ranorex Spy while others are only there once.

I've attached a screen shot from my current view in the spy: There you can see that "Form 'MyMainWindow'" is listed twice while FireFox for example is listed only once.

Can someone please explain this to me or point me to a part in the documentation that handles this?

Regards

Ralf

Nobody any clue about that?

Hi MillionsterNutzer,

Welcome to Ranorex!

There are two plugins for recognizing WPF applications, the UIA and the native WPF plugin. The UIA plugin is still available for compatibility reasons, but we recommend using the WPF plugin. When accessing the UIA tree, you will receive a technology limitation warning.

I hope this information helps.
