Re: Low performance when running tests on VM

WPF performance is abysmal in some VMs, particularly Hyper-V. The main reason is that the many VMs lack the hardware acceleration that WPF uses to make fonts, animations and scaling graphics work smoothly. If you can have your developers add a switch to enable software rendering only mode in your WP...

Re: EO.WebBrowser for .NET

Jerry, You'll have to have your developers enable the accessibility renderer for Chrome in their code. Have them add something similar to: EO.WebBrowser.Runtime.ExtraCommandLineArgs = "--force-renderer-accessibility"; It's not perfect but it's the best I've found. Unfortunately it doesn't work as we...

Re: Report: "Data file or transformation file is missing"

From the looks of the screenshot Windows Explorer is hiding file extensions, so the extension there probably isn't actually ".rxlog.data", it's actually ".rxlog.data.<something>" You should turn off "Hide extensions for known file types" in the explorer folder options to get the full path. I used to...

Re: Repo Variable Displays As Unbound

I have also run into this problem and was about to post a similar question. In addition to this issue, is there any way to hide the unbound variable warning when I manually assign a value to a repo variable in code? (e.g. repo.Variable = variable;) I would like to make my code self contained if it c...

Re: Case Insensitive with equal sign

The path is correct, it is not a problem with the uniqueness. It is matching for example JAP in a string like Japan and I only want it to match exact strings. Thanks. If you want to match only exact strings in an insensitive manner you should use the ^ and $ delimiters for start and end of line res...

StepCostReduce Path Build Options

I have been using path weights to adjust the automatic RxPath generation of Ranorex Spy for a some time now and it works fairly well in most cases. In recent releases, the default path build mode was switched to StepCostReduce which seems to use a very different algorithm and set of criteria to buil...

Re: Alt-Tab is disabled when Studio starts

I also see this issue on Windows 8 using Ranorex 4.1.0. I've had it ever since I started testing on Windows 8 with 4.0.2. I do not use Alt or Tab in any of my scripts. The only thing unusual about my configuration is that I have disabled UAC in the registry (which prevents Win8 Metro from starting)....

Re: Ranorex Spy cannot detect ItemType on WPF list items

Thanks for looking into it for me, reflection is a bit beyond me at the moment. I figured it was an MS issue when Inspect failed to return the value, but I'm at a loss as to why anyone would implement it that way. One would think the idea of a list of different types of items (e.g. Files and Folders...

Re: Ranorex Spy cannot detect ItemType on WPF list items

It seems MS Inspect can't find the value of the ItemType property either. I'm setting the value of the attached property right next to the ItemStatus property which is of the same type and that works fine. I am at a a loss. <ListBox> <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle> <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem"> <Set...

Ranorex Spy cannot detect ItemType on WPF list items

Ranorex Spy cannot detect the AutomationProperties.ItemType attached property for WPF list items. This applies to both TreeViewItems and ListBoxItems. In both cases ItemType shows as unset when it has been bound to a valid value. Snoop sees the ItemType property without issue, Ranorex consistently i...
