Verify how many instances of an application is running

[LPG]

Hi,

I am trying to check how many instances of an application (Adobe Reader) that is running.

Let's say I assume that there will be 3 Adobe Reader's open. To check that the 3rd one is open, I can do the following:

Validate.Exists("/form[@title='Report' and @processname='AcroRd32' and @class='AcrobatSDIWindow' and @instance='2']");]

However, this way I have to know the largest instance number. What I rather need to do, is to get a count of the number of instances. Or get the largest instance number that exists for that process. Same thing

Ideas?

Thanks

Code: Select all

iList<Ranorex.Form> apps = Host.Local.Find<Ranorex.Form>("/form[@processname='AcroRd32']);
Report.Info("Instance count = " + apps.count.ToString());

Worked like a charm, thank you. Didn't know I could use IList that way.

I would use System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName() (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z3w4xdc9.aspx) rather than Ranorex version. unless of course you need to do something with those forms.

Thank you for your post, but I just open task manager and see it.
