How to get a row from table (quicktable)

I have a problem with testing a .net application (Alior Trader 2 https://aliortrader.pl/install/Alior%20Trader%202.msi)
I want to get a value of control with type name QuickType (attachment image - Table)

In previously version of application I was using below code to get a value of rows in table:

Code: Select all

Form form = "/form[@title='Obserwowane instrumenty']/";
Table tab = form.FindSingle(".//table[@controltypename='AdvancedDataGridView']");
Now control type name is QuickType and when I'm trying to do use the same code:

Code: Select all

Form form = "/form[@title='Obserwowane instrumenty']/";
Table tab = form.FindSingle(".//element[@controltypename='QuickType']");
I have a error:

Code: Select all

Ranorex.CapabilityNotSupportedException: The element does not support the required capability 'table'. at Ranorex.Adapter..ctor(Element element) at Ranorex.Table.op_Implicit(Element element)
Which type of variable I have to use, to get a row from table?

Hi,

You got this error because the element (QuickType) had changed and is now no longer of type table.
Which value do you want to get from this element or do you want to get the child elements?
Could you send/post a Ranorex snapshot file of your application?
This would help us to analyze the issue in detail.
Following link will show you how to generate a snapshot file:

Hi,

I want to get a value of cell from all rows in quicktable.
I attached a snapshot file

Hi,

Thanks for the snapshot, but it would be great if you could send us another snapshot of the child elements of the "QuickTable" element, this would help us to find a workaround for you.
If there are elements of type row you could search for all rows in that element: 
IList<Row> rows = quickTable.FindDescendants<Row>();
            
            foreach(Row row in rows){
            	
            	foreach(Cell cell in row.Cells){
            		//some other code
            	}
            	
            }

Hi

I couldn't use code You paste, because Ranorex Spy recognize QuickTable as Element and this type of variable doesn't have a FindDescendants() method.

It looks like Ranorex Spy doesn't recognize any children of quicktable

Maybe I find workaround :D
I added to references of my project in Ranorex a library (Controls.dll) with controls from trader application.
I also added a using statement:

Code: Select all

using com.pfsoft.proftrading.controls.table.QuickTable;
But it's one problem I can't use a type QuickTable, in Visual Studio it's works.
What I'm doing wrong?

Hi,

Are you getting any error messages when you built your project?
This unfortunately wouldn't solve the issue as this has no influence on the ability of Ranorex to identify your elements.
What you can try is to add the specific "QuickTable" class to the GDI Capture List as described on the following link: [url=http://www.ranorex.com/blog/automation- ... i-capture-
plug-in]Automation of Legacy Applications with the GDI Capture Plug-In[/url].
Does this work in your case?

Unfortunately it's doesn't work in my case.
Ranorex Spy doesn't recognize any Raw Text in control (image)
Is there any other method to recognize this control by Ranorex, ex. create plugin based on control library?

Hello,

Which version of the .NET Framework is installed on your machine? Maybe the .NET Framework 4.0 Full/Extended package is needed and not installed.
Are you able to track the elements with UISpy?

List of installed .NET framework:
  • 3.5
    4 Client Profile
    4 Extended
Unfortunately I wasn't be able to track the elements with UISpy.
Any other ideas?

Hi,

Are you able to track the elements with Inspect or AccExplorer?
If not it seems that this is a custom control and that Ranorex is therefore not able to identify the elements in this table.
There are two ways how you can overcome this issue, you can add accessibility to enable Ranorex to identify those elements in the list as described in the following blog: Enabling automation for 3rd party controls by adding Accessibility, or you can use invoke remotely to call a method in order to get the elements of that table as described in the following blog and forum posts: Transferring data to and from a .NET control, link1, link2 and link3.
I hope this will help you solve the issue!

Hi,

Could you check if you get the same error with the current Ranorex version (3.3.2)?
You will find the link to the download page on the start page of Ranorex Studio.

Hello,

Do you use the correct bit version of the dll? It seems that you use a 64bit dll for a 32bit project.
