Refresh Table at runtime to get Rowcount

[cld2403]

Hi,

I have a problem with the refreshing of a table during runtime.
I have a GUI where I put something in, press "search" and than a table will be filled.
The table is tracked (in repository) but without rows (in empty case). When I want to know the row count of this table during runtime I always get 0 as result.

I think that there is no refreshing or rather the program doesn't know that there was a change...
How can I find out that information?

I tried:
table.rows.count();
Host.Local.Find<Row>("complete path").Count;
I also tried make a click into the table and than get the count but it's always 0
I also tried only track the container where the table is included but same result - 0

By the way, I write the testcases by myself in Visual Studio 2012 C# and the Table is a Telerikcontrol.

Do your have any advice for me?
thx
best regards
Claudia

Have you tried tracking the cells AFTER updating the search?

Doing this might allow you to see how the table is structured after the update, which may be different than how it is structured before the update.

This will also let you make sure your XPaths are correct for your search.

I can't track after updating because I'm the program is running in that moment!

As I wrote above I tried to find rows with the "find" command and the complete tracking path but it is always 0.
I think that during the running test, the repositiory doesn't recognize that something has changed in the table... for this I wanted to know if it is posible to do a refresh of the tracked items or something else

If you have SPY running, you can move the mouse over what you want to track and hit "Ctrl-LWin" to activate Instant Tracking.

You can do this while your AUT is running.

ETA: Also, my earlier suggestion was about the AUT, not your test, I'm not sure I made that clear.

thx but I don't know how this can help me with my problem

the tracking path is correct, when the screen starts and the table is already filled with rows I can access them with table.rows.count and I get the correct count
but when the table is filled during runtime I cannot access the rowcount because it will not be recognized that something has changed ...

and I cant do what your suggest to me because it is an autoamted test on the screen so the pc is locked because mouse and keyboard will be used and I can't access them

Hi,

I think user "krstcs" wants you to verify if Ranorex is able to track the elements within your table after it was refreshed.

What would happen if you re-create/re-search the table in code?
