WPF Plug-in Error Message

Post by Fergal » Wed Jan 27, 2016 6:00 pm

[Ranorex 5.4.4 on Windows 7]

My WPF Plug-In settings look like this:

And I am seeing the error below when testing a POS application.
You are accessing WPF elements via the UIA plug-in. UI element identification capabilities for this window are limited. Consider using the native WPF plug-in.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

Thanks!

Hi Fergal,

Could you please post some info about your AUT?
I am asking because I faced a similar problem a few days ago with web elements.

Long story short, it turned out that while in safe-mode (incognito) the browser's plugins (including Ranorex) were disabled. After I've enabled them everything worked as expected.

Cheers,

Hi Lucian, the AUT is a client's, Windows based POS, it is not run through a browser.
