I am trying to acces the list of items in a comboBox to no avail. Here is the code I am using:
Code: Select all
Ranorex.ComboBox comboBox = "/dom[@domain='10.0.0.114:8443']/body/flexobject/element[@id='swfLoader']/element/element/container/container[@id='modulesCanvas']/element[@type='EmployeeDetails']/container[@type='VBox']/container[@type='Canvas']/container/container[@id='identificationForm']/container/form/container[2]/container[2]/container[@id='_EmployeeDetailsIdentification_FormItem3']/combobox[@id='title']";
// Open combobox using property
comboBox.DropDownVisible = true;
comboBox.EnsureVisible();
// Open combobox by clicking the
// drop down button
Ranorex.Button open = comboBox.FindChild<Ranorex.Button>();
open.Focus();
open.Click();
IList<ListItem> items = comboBox.Items;
The list that is created in items is empty. I have tried other methods to access this to now avail. I need to access this list and interate through it to determine if an entry is present. Entries can be added or delete and I need to verify the effect of those actions on the list.

Use RanorexSpy to check out how the combobox's list is actually created. Is there a .Items property for your combobox? My guess is that you will see a List element that then contains the ListItems.

I have checked and there is not a list associated with the comboBox in Spy. I have attached a Ranorex snapshot of the comboBox. Also, this is with a Flash/Flex application.

Ah, flash... Well then I'll have to bow out from this since I don't do any flash testing at all... Sorry...

Hi,
If you open the combo-box and use instant tracking to get the items of the combo-box, a Container named "dataGroup" should be available in Spy. Nested under this container, all items of the combo-box should be available. With this list of items you can check your items if they exists or not.
For instant tracking, please take a look to following link

Peter,
I have used instant tracking with the comboBox. However, I do not see the "dataGroup" Container nor do I see the list in any form. I have attached the snapshot for the comoBox obtained using instant tracking.

Hi,
I tried to reproduce the problem but it was working as expected. There should be a "dataGroup" container under the Flex Object in Spy. Would it be possible to send us a sample application with your combo-box inside? So we can reproduce the issue and send you a solution.

If I drop the list down by licking the comboBox button and then use instant tracking then I get access to the list. However, by looking at the Ranorex Path it does not look like the list is associated with the comboBox. Attached is the list snapshot. Why does it not appear with the comboBox in the Ranorex Path.

..., because the drop-down of a Flex combo box is actually a control of its own and only logically linked to the combo box. Ranorex reflects the visual outline of an application, not its logical structure (which would be very hard to guess). In most cases visual and logical views match. And if not, the RanoreXPaths you get with Ranorex Spy will still make it easy to identify such UI elements.

Please provide more information.
What version of Ranorex are you using?
What version of Windows are you running on?
What technology is your system under test developed in? (HTML, Flash/Flex, WPF, Java, etc.)
Please include a snapshot of the element in question as well as the XPath you are using to identify the object. You can find information on creating a snapshot
here.
