I want to get TreeNode text color and backcolor,like node5,
i try like this ,but the object 'box_c' return null
Code: Select all
string str_temp = "/form[@title='Form1' and @processname='test_tree' and @controltypename='Form1' and @instance='0']/container[@controlname='splitContainer1']/?/?/tree[@controlname='treeView1']//treeitem[@accessiblename='Node5']";
Ranorex.TreeItem tree_item = null;
bool aa = Host.Local.TryFindSingle<Ranorex.TreeItem>(str_temp, 5000, out tree_item);
if (aa)
{
object box_c = tree_item.Element.GetAttributeValue("BackColor"); // return null
Color cl = (Color)box_c;
}
Some body know how to get the node text color and backcolor?

Hi,
If there is no BackColor attribute available in the Spy, then GetAttributeValue is most probably useless here
Try this code instead:
Code: Select all
Color color = tree_item.GetPropertyValue<Color>("BackColor");
If the above code fails, you will most probably have to use Invoke Remotely, to get the background color of the problematic element. Check for example this post:

And this blog post (somewhat old but still valid):

odklizec,thanks for response
I try to the post you gived,
but when run ,it raise expection " The element does not support the required capability 'control'. "
do you know how to handle this ?
my code like below
Code: Select all
string str_temp = "/form[@controlname='Form1']/container[@controlname='splitContainer1']/?/?/tree[@controlname='treeView1']//treeitem[@accessiblename='Node5']";
Ranorex.TreeItem tree_item = null;
bool aa = Host.Local.TryFindSingle<Ranorex.TreeItem>(str_temp, 5000, out tree_item);
if (aa)
{
Ranorex.TreeItem tree_item1 = str_temp;
Ranorex.Control myCtrl = (Ranorex.Control)tree_item1.Element; //=>this raise exception
//"The element does not support the required capability 'control'."
...

Why do you use this (failing) line anyway? For obtaining text color from tree item, it should be enough to use tree_item element obtained from TryFindSingle method.

I only want to try the method in post that you gived;
Do you mean that ,the tree item (Node5) text color or back color can get from the var tree_item ?

I think this code should be enough to obtain the background color of provided tree element?...
Code: Select all
string str_temp = "/form[@controlname='Form1']/container[@controlname='splitContainer1']/?/?/tree[@controlname='treeView1']//treeitem[@accessiblename='Node5']";
Ranorex.TreeItem tree_item = null;
bool aa = Host.Local.TryFindSingle<Ranorex.TreeItem>(str_temp, 5000, out tree_item);
Color color = tree_item.GetPropertyValue<Color>("BackColor");

Thanks for response,
This code confuse me,this code can not complie,"'Ranorex.TreeItem' does not contain a definition for 'GetPropertyValue' "
I read the API document,this method only for the class of 'Ranorex.Control',not for TreeItem
Or my ranorex version lower?
which version do you used?

Hi,
I'm using latest 6.2.1, however, I've not tried the above code. Simply, I don't have a sample app where I could try it
If you can provide such sample app, I may try it. It does not have to be the actual AUT. Just a small sample app with problematic tree control should be enough.
The above code should work. Try to search "
GetPropertyValue<Color>" in this forum. It should return multiple posts discussing usage of this method. If the code does not work for you, then I'm afraid, your only hope is
Invoke Remotely, as mentioned in another of my posts.

Thank you very much,
this is my sample app,that i want to get the text color and back color from the 'Node5'
And another, i try the posts that you give ,but find that the TreeItem can not translate to Ranorex.Control,the method GetPropertyValue() only for Ranorex.Control.

Hi,
Unfortunately, I too was not able to convert the TreeItem into Control and hence neither the GetProperty, nor Invoke Remotely worked for me. I've tried something as described here:
http://www.ranorex.com/forum/get-backgr ... tml#p28331
and here:
http://www.ranorex.com/support/user-gui ... apter.html
But without luck. Maybe someone more knowledgeable in .net and Ranorex will suggest something useful?

Hi Fent12,
In order to analyze the issue it would be great if you could provide the VS solution of the sample application (test_tree.exe). I would suggest contacting
[email protected] directly including the compressed VS solution.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Johannes
