Update elements in repository within code

[erman]

Hi,

I'm new to Ranorex, but have used other UI automation tools, like QTP in the past. My question is if I have an element in the repository, such as checkbox, is it possible to update the attributes of the saved element during runtime(ie. within the C# code)? Basically, looking for the SetTO property that QTP supports.

There are many checkboxes with the applications UI, so I would like to create a generic checkbox element in the repository, and update this element during execution, so that different checkboxes can be selected.

Thanks for an ideas,

Eric

If you don't want to use the repository to store your specific elements but would rather have it contain a generic element that can be updated at runtime, then why not just write your own method that accepts the checkbox identifier that you want to click? This is basically how I work, I don't use the repository at all.
