Text property is not displayed in Ranorex

Post by usov » Thu Feb 15, 2018 9:09 am

From the question https://www.ranorex.com/forum/how-to-ge ... 11648.html

It seems the Text property is not displayed in Ranorex if a cell's DispalyRole returns a non-standard QVariant with UserType in it. According to our developers, the table uses default QStyledItemDelegate with displayText() method that calls QVariant::toString() converter. The convertor has been explicitly registred by calling QMetaType::registerConverter<CustomMetaType, QString>. AccessibleName property in legacy mode looks good for such custom types, but not the Text one. It's only displayed for standard QVariants (e.g. QString).

A Ranorex snapshot would be really helpful if you are able to supply one; that way we can take a detailed look at the application as a whole. I did not see one in the thread you linked, but please correct me if I missed it.

Have you tried using GDI? GDI will read the Raw Text from the object. You should be able to add your process to the GDI watch list and keep your working QT plugin settings:

Can this help to understand the problem? - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ab6MEZ ... p=drivesdk
In the column "Has text property" we get the text, and in the column "Text is empty" - the text does not work - new.png

Hi, you should be able to add the process name to the GDI watchlist like so:

If that does not work, you can try to change your QT plugin settings to legacy (WARNING: This may affect your existing paths for QT objects!):

Hi Vega,

We already discussed this problem here...
https://www.ranorex.com/forum/how-to-ge ... 11648.html

Using QT Legacy mode partially helps, except it changes all xpaths and some elements now provide much less details or they are entirely missing (e.g. missing table rows), so this is probably not the best option for him? And the thing is, that MS Inspect tool seems show both Name and LegacyIAccessible.Name, so it appears to be a bug in Ranorex?

Please add these details to your questions:
  • Ranorex Snapshot. Learn how to create one >here<
  • Ranorex xPath of problematic element(s)
  • Ranorex version
  • OS version
  • HW configuration

So our developer and made a simple application that reproduces the situation to provide the source code of the program https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ab6MEZ ... p=drivesdk

My apologies for not doing my due diligence; I think I got a little trigger happy. Thanks for pointing that out odklizec! If it is a bug then it would be out of our hands for now as Ranorex analyzes the issue.
