Ranorex Forum

hi everybody actually in my application i have used a lot of devexpress controls which are not being recognised properly in the way that they should have been. so is there a way to map these to simple and recognised objects.please help me in this .

Hi,

Please can you post some more additional information:

• Which version of Ranorex is in use?
• What version of DevExpress is in use?
• Please post a Ranorex Snapshot of the controls.

Hi,

Sorry but with this screen shot we are not able to delimit the problem. I tried the demos on the DevExpress home page and it worked like expected. Also many of our customer use DevExpress controls and they are very pleased with the object recognition of Ranorex. So is it possible to sent us a Ranorex Spy Snapshot to [email protected] or only of that control which is not recognized by Ranorex.

Hiya

Would be nice to know what type of control you are talking about
Is it a grid, a tab, a text box, a button, a property grid, a ribbon bar etc ?

Some controls Ranorex works perfectly, other controls you may have to use the Dev Express API to perform the operation you want to do. So really to answer your question it would be needed to know:

- What type of control
- What operation on that control you want to do

Cheers

the controls are some inline grid functions some ribbon controls the calendar control(in which the claendar comes when we open the drop down list) and some other. so if you could suggest how to use DevExpress API's then it will be more than good for me to implement these controls.

For the grid, what operation do you want to perform?
For the calendar, can you not just type the date string into the text box?

actually in grids we are using some inline grid functions and in calendar we open a drop down adn then select the date so its not possible to just put up a simple calendar in our application and insert the date into the textbox.please if you all could suggest me something

Hiya

For the calendar I havent personally automated this control
But im sure the Dev Express API will have a method to select a specific date
Download their documentation and take a look - its available from their website

As for the grid, what operation does the test need to do?

For using dev express api, we did the following:

1. Created a new dll that references dev express dll's
Inside this dll we place delegate methods that perform a specific operation using the dev express api

2. Created a new dll, that references the above dll
Expose methods that use InvokeRemotely on the methods in above dll

3. Test case .exe references dll from number 2

For setting the calendar value, see this post: http://www.ranorex.com/forum/select-ite ... t1426.html

ok i will do that and let you know

i am still not able to implement what you said. you mean to say that i have to create dll's that contain the dev express controls that are not being recognised and then reference them in our test cases what i understood as. so if you just elaborate a bit on your view then it will be helpful
