Hi,
1. I was using 5.4.2 ranorex version earlier,now i have updated to 7.0.0.
2. After upgrade, unable to track wpf controls(like text box, buttons etc) directly instead i could have tracked the parent control only like container.
3. I found a solution in ranorex forum and i have changed the value of WPF plugin name wpf legecy/ UIA Interaction from wpfpreferred to wpfimprovedonly and it started tracking all wpf controls.
4. Then i found an issue that few existing wpf controls which were working fine when plugin value was wpfpreferred were showing an unable to found error after changing the plugin value to wpfimprovedonly.
5. It works when i track those wpf control again, but why the existing control which were working fine after changing the plugin value it is not working.
6. Last and important thing we do not know what and where are the existing wpf controls will give the same error so it is very difficult to change and track each and every control once again.
7. Please provide me a solutions, ASAP.It would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Shakib Qureshi
Unable to work with new wpf plugin value wpfimprovedonly
Re: Unable to work with new wpf plugin value wpfimprovedonly
Hi,
The thing is, that the xpaths generated by new improved plugin are not compatible with old one. So if you forced Ranorex to use new improved plugin, the old xpaths stored in repo may not work.
Additionally, Ranorex cannot work with mixed new and old wpf plugin. It either uses new or old one. In other words, if there are stored xpaths generated with old wpf plugin, it automatically uses old plugin, except of course you force it to use new plugin. But then it cannot work with those old xpaths
The most recommended approach is to re-generate old wpf xpaths and use new plugin...

To avoid re-generating xpaths, you will have to use the old plugin. The good question is, why Ranorex suddenly cannot track some elements, which (I assume) worked before? This could be some kind of a bug in old/new wpf plugin switch?
