Ranorex Forum

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone has wrapped the Find methods to have something similar to the By class in selenium. e.g.

Form.Find<Ranorex.Text>(By.Id("105"))
Form.Find<Ranorex.Button>(By.Text("OK"))

where say:
By.Id("105") expands to xpath string descendant::element[@id="105"]

Cheers.

Hello,

You can do this using Ranorex, you just need to use the appropriate RxPath and search method.
Here is a sample how this can work:

Ranorex.Text text = Form.FindSingle<Ranorex.Text>(".//text[@?'105']");

If you know which attribute contains the Id you can also add it to the RxPath:

Ranorex.Text text = Form.FindSingle<Ranorex.Text>(".//text[@controlid='105']");

It is also possible to use a variable instead of the hard coded id:

String Id = "105";
ATag tag = newsORFAt.FindSingle<Ranorex.ATag>(".//a[?'"+Id+"']");

The same holds for finding an element by its text.
