Re: Unable to identify an element in Modal Form
Hi,
Please upload a Ranorex snapshot (NOT screenshot) of the modal dialog. Recording file is unfortunately not enough to find the cause of the problem. Also, please post full xpath of problematic element(s), as you have it stored in repo (including all parent elements). And finally, please post exact error message you are getting. Thanks.

Re: Unable to identify an element in Modal Form
Hi , Sorry for the late reply.
I have added three snapshots .
1. ENtire Modal snap shot
2. 1st time(day 1) captured the Rxpatch
3. 2nd time(day 2) captured the Rxpatch
Some times ranorex able to identify using the path captured in point 2 and some timed it is failing.
after failing when spy on the element the path keeps changing as mentioned in point 3.In this Path Div[104] is keep on changing as result element not idenified.
i removed array 104 from this Div and other array mentioned in other Div , it worked for few times but not continuously.
Also during playback 'The mouse action was performed outside the boundaries of the assigned UI element.(null) ' I updated the Disable bound warning to true and action spot on centre still not succeed .
PFA.

Re: Unable to identify an element in Modal Form
Hi,
You forgot to post full xpath of the element, as you have it stored in repo and which fails during playback (ideally, post entire error message from report). As you pointed out, the page is highly dynamic, so you must eliminate all dynamic attributes and eventually, find some nondynamic attributes and enter them manually to the xpath (e.g. class attribute).

Re: Unable to identify an element in Modal Form
Hi, just some additional thoughts...
At first, please try to update your current Ranorex version, with most recent 9.0.1. This new version contains a lot of bug fixes, so it's better to use this version over 9.0.0. At next, the snapshots you posted, complain about missing IE plugin. Missing IE plugin should not impact Ranorex ability to find UI elements, just the search speed. But still, it's better to have Ranorex plugin installed and enabled. And finally, I see your UI is created with JQWidgets, which is somewhat tricky technology to automate. Basically, forget about record&replay scenarios and start exploring the power of Class attribute and manual xpath editing
This kind of UI requires a very good knowledge of xpath usage.

Re: Unable to identify an element in Modal Form
Hi,
I'm getting the another different error when try accessing the drp btn of a winform calender by mouse and click. FYI I've changed Action spot to center and disable outside bound.

Re: Unable to identify an element in Modal Form
Hello Isaac,
what do you mean by Winform? This error message is much more common in Web. I actually did not see it appear outside of Web at all. Have you already tried with a delay before that action? Could be the control is not yet loaded.
Also, how is this post related to the thread?
