Re: Make Windows 8 detect Ranorex as location service user

I was able to retrieve the coordinates by enabling location services in windows 8 by using the GeoCoordinateWatcher under the System.Device.Location namespace. However, I am still confused as to why the StatusChanged event handler was not being executed through Ranorex's implementation of the .NET f...

Make Windows 8 detect Ranorex as location service user

I would like Ranorex to utilize .NET's location services in Windows 8 for geofencing automation but do not know how to configure Ranorex to do so. Is there a way to do this via Ranorex or in Windows 8?

Re: How to maximize a Metro application.

Hi Robert, That solution you posted did not work for me but I was able to get around it by finding the MenuBar and selecting the pinned icon button that resembles our application. Code for this is below: MenuBar menuBar; Host.Local.TryFindSingle<MenuBar>("/menubar[@processname='explorer']", out menu...

How to maximize a Metro application.

Assuming that the element to maximize and to minimize is a WinApp object. There are no forms present within the first page of the application. I would like to do this during a test, not when the test starts.

Wondering how "CloseApplication" works under the hood - WPF.

I was wondering what happens when Ranorex API calls "CloseApplication" for a Windows 8 wpf application. Does "CloseApplication" just call Taskkill via command line to kill a process?

How to detect elements drawn on canvas?

Platform: Windows 8.1 WPF. Is there an interface that we can implement so we can extend off of the shape class and implement that interface so that Ranorex can detect whether certain canvas elements are rendered on screen? I think I may have seen this to be a feature request for Ranorex but I want t...

Objects taken off Object Hiearchy when scrolling

Hi, I was wondering if there was a setting in Ranorex that disables this feature. I am not sure if this is due to our developers occlusion culling are UI view components on screen or if this a feature in Ranorex. I will repost here if they are doing this intentionally for performance reasons. I am a...

Re: WinModern 8, Screen Flickers when script is recorded

I was able to fix the problem by going to Global Settings -> Plugins, then setting "Force virtual items to be realized" to false under the WPF tab. Not exactly sure why that worked but if someone would like to comment on that, I would appreciate it :D. I tested this on the Surface Pro and the Lenovo...

For my problem, whenever I click on a particular button, the screen tends to flicker rapidly. By looking at my view, it seems that the button never reaches to its release state once clicked. In my application, keeping the button in the down state has no effect. Testing on a VM with/or without a remo...
