Ranorex only supports the Microsoft Windows operating system. The currently supported Windows versions are listed on our
homepage (right on the startpage, at the very bottom).

Alex, thank you for the reply. for the reply.
Make more sure that: if the application i am testing is the GTK+ based GUI, can Ranorex support? As far as i know, GTK+ GUI is a little different from the Windows style GUI.
Thanks

We currently provide only limited support Gtk+ using Win32-Controls.
Accessibility support for Gtk required ATK which is currently not available for Windows platforms.

Actually it is available under Windows. If you check this link:
http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/home/index.php/Downloads
You can see the atk is in the installer.
So if I just install atk under Windows, Ranorex will be able to see Gtk widgets, or the Ranorex code has to be modified first?

Rethinking, it would also need at-spi lib under Windows which is not ported yet (afaik)

Exactly, without at-spi the atk implementation is pretty useless.
Even with at-spi, we would have to provide a dedicated implementation which could be a lot work because this stuff is CORBA based (i think?)
If somebody built a atk-to-MSAA or atk-to-UIA bridge into gtk+ we would support it.
BTW: Qt and WxWindows provide a MSAA implementation on Windows.

It is indeed corba based.
Anyways thx for the quick answer.
