Search all cells from specific column in table

[i.vasilyev]

Hello
I have a problem with searching of all cells from specific column in table.
The table has more than 800 rows.
AUT: Desktop app
Ranorex 7
I'm not using the Ranorex Studio, I'm using VS + Ranorex.Core lib

Code: Select all

var rows = Host.Local.Find<Cell>("/form/table/row/cell[7]");

Result: rows.Count is 209 cells, but I'm expecting 804(all cells from specific column)
I know that this is because of some Ranorex setting, but I can't find the actual setting.

I tried to use following things, but that is not helpful for me:
- Ranorex.Plugin.UiaFlavor.Instance.UseItemContainerPattern = true;
- realize items in virtualizing containers = true(in Ranorex settings)

How can I find all cells?

Are you able to provide a snapshot of the table? This would be extremely helpful as all you may need is an adjustment to the Ranorex path you are using. Looking at a snapshot side by side with your chosen Ranorex path would be nice.

Nope. I'm not able. It is a common question I'm not sure that it depends on specific RxPath or specific element

Unfortunately, it often does very much depend on the implementation, so being able to see the actual Snapshot or application is the only thing that really helps. Every application is different.

I strongly believe you are just using a non-optimized Ranorex path based on the information provided. You should be able to return all rows /cells from a table easily with the right path. This is why a snapshot is so important;
without a snapshot its just guess work.Try taking the indexer off your Ranorex path and see what the count is.

I completely understand not being able to post it here, but you may want to open a ticket with the Ranorex support team so you may provide the snapshot to them directly.
