Ranorex and OCR

Does Ranorex support OCR? Say I'm testing a financial graphing tool such as Bloomberg for example, and I want to validate data on certain point. Assume that it's impossible to add the plotted point on the graph to the repository or get its xpath. Also assume that Ranroex does not support generating ...

Re: Finding xpath dynamically or on the fly ...

But you are still doing something manually with spy. You are starting spy, moving the cursor to the button you want to examine and hitting the hotkey to get the path. You are still interacting manually with the AUT, nothing is being done automatically for you... No, what I want is to do what you de...

Re: Finding xpath dynamically or on the fly ...

What I know before hand is that name of the application (Excel. It is an Excel add in) and the area where the buttons are (in a container). Okay, let me simplify the problem: When I manually use spy, it gets the path for me. Then I add the path to the project either in my code or to the repository. ...

Re: Finding xpath dynamically or on the fly ...

What does PushButtonName refer to? What attribute of the button is it? Also, RanorexFormName does not auto appear. In other words, it does not compile when I type it in Ranorex. Do I need to add a using directive? To reiterate, I DON'T want to hard code any values. What I need is something like this...

Re: Finding xpath dynamically or on the fly ...

I guess my question got mixed up with the Excel example. The info you provided is great, and helps for finding different instances of an application. But the real question is simply, can I get the xpath of a UI control during run time? So, let's say I have an application called ABCTimeSheet. Let say...

Re: Ranorex Can't find excel controls

Thank you for your reply. After further investigation I figured out the problem. The issue was on my end, with mycode, not a Ranorex problem.

Java Program Freezes, Causing Ranorex to Crash

Hi, I'm not too sure how many people experience this issue, but I'm guessing it's rare. I'm testing a Java application that freezes at one point. After clicking a button to add some records, the UI freezes for some time while. That is how the application is supposed to work. The issue for me is that...
