I am noticing something I just can not explain yet.

When I run my script that checks the state of a control, I am getting for that state a number like '1048577'.

This happens if I use the control or the element.

However, if I step through the code in my IDE (WingIDE) then it correctly returns the state of 1 (unavailable).

I have manually introduced sleep time but that does not seem to do the trick.

1048577 Dec = 100001 Hex
This means STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE & STATE_SYSTEM_FOCUSABLE

If you step through the code, then the control is not focusable, so you get only STATE_SYSTEM_UNAVAILABLE = 1.

The State property has bit flags, you can check the state of an element as follown:

Code: Select all

if state & Ranorex.STATE_SYSTEM_CHECKED:
    print 'Checked'
if state & Ranorex.STATE_SYSTEM_SELECTED:
    print 'Selected'
