Question

I am creating a Ranorex Checkbox object and then grabbing the appropriate checkbox using Ranorexpath. But I am unable to check this checkbox using the CheckBox.Check() event. On the UI, a tick mark appears on the checkbox but in reality the checkbox remains unchecked and as a result the expected messages do not appear on the screen and the test fails. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Code snipped below:

                if(value=="99283" || value =="99281")
                {
                    Ranorex.CheckBox EMlevelReason="/dom[@domain='"+domain+"']//object[#'slApp']/form/form[1]/form/list[@automationid='lstOuter']/listitem[4]/list/listitem[4]/checkbox[@name='Single xray']";                      
                    EMlevelReason.Focus();                     
                    if(EMlevelReason.Checked!=true)
                    {
                        EMlevelReason.Focus();
                        EMlevelReason.Check();  // doesn't work. the checkbox appears checked on the UI but actually remains unchecked                  
                    }
                }

We were able to develop a workaround for this. We used the click() event instead of check()
i.e. in the above code we just replaced EMlevelReason.Check() with EMlevelReason.Click()
Don’t know why but it works now 🙂
