[taoyang987]

i offen see two ways to use "findSingle" one like this :

Code: Select all

Button button = form.FindSingle<Ranorex.Button>(".//button[@controlid='132']"); 

othe other is

Code: Select all

Button button = form.FindSingle(".//button[@controlid='132']"); 

i usually use the second one .

Hi,

FindSingle<T>(RxPath): Applies a Ranorex Path to the adapter, returning a specific adapter type (e.g. Role or Capability).
FindSingle(RxPath): Applies a Ranorex Path to the adapter, returning an Element.

In your case the returning Element, of the second method, is type casted to Button.
With the second method you could also use this code:

Element element = form.FindSingle(".//button[@controlid='132']"); 
Report.Info(element.Role.ToString());
Button button = element.As<Button>();
