Cannot recognize Ui Elements

Hi all,

I am experiencing problems in recognizing elements in a software interface.

These folders are recognized by the Default framework with selectors like the following one:

“wnd ctrlname=‘splitContainerNavPane’ /> wnd ctrlname=‘navPane’ /> wnd cls=‘WindowsForms10.Window.*’ idx=‘7’ /> ctrl name=‘Pannello Dati’ role=‘grouping’ /> ctrl name=‘Nodo2’ role=‘outline item’ /> ctrl name=‘Tree Column row 2’ role=‘cell’ />”

All elements in the panel matches the following pattern: “ctrl name=‘Nodo*’ role=‘outline item’ />
ctrl name=‘Tree Column row *’ role=‘cell’ />”

To allow the selector to be seen, I removed the beginning < from each line.

The UI Automation Framework finds the elements with similar selector.

The problem begin for the i-th element: even if I set the focus on the 60th element, at 1080p the
two frameworks recognize elements up to the 22nd “Nodo”, at 4k the 40th.

The Active Accessibility does not recognize any element.

However, for automation it is necessary to recognize all elements present, even those with visibility other than 0.

CV or OCR do not seem to be sustainable solutions in terms of stability and lead times.

The software developer claims to use the DevExpress Windows Form 23.2.4.0 libraries.

How can I recognise these elements? Are there libraries/packages to recognise them?

Hoping for a quick response,
Thanks a lot!

Is it a desktop application?

Did you try with ui explorwr and if available include the text field which contaisn the required name of the folder

Alternately you can use get text in combination with idx sot hat you can loop theough get the text check if it is the required folder …if not increase idx and perform this in loop

Cheers

Hi Anil!

I’ve tried but the UiExplorer does not regognize the folders as UiElements with the Default Framework and with UI Automation Framework I get this error:

Thanks

Which element is your goal? Your best bet is t use find all child elements, and use innertext to filter.

Doing the find children does not solve the problem because outputs the same elements that I recognize via the UiExplorer, the other folders are as if they did not exist.
