Question

I am doing test automation in C# inside Ranorex software.
I get the name of a button to click on from an XML file and the method :

string deviceName = device.SelectSingleNode("./ButtonInTTS").InnerText.Replace(" ", "");

I get a string whose name tells me which button to click in my application, then there is this method :
repo.TiTouchScreenApp.ToolbarListBox.Button.DoubleClick();

In fact in Ranorex you have the library of all the buttons and I need to change the name of Button to the result of deviceName.
For example if deviceName == “Automation”, it will do
repo.TiTouchScreenApp.ToolbarListBox.Automation.DoubleClick();

deviceName == “Temperature”

repo.TiTouchScreenApp.ToolbarListBox.Temperature.DoubleClick();

BUT I want to do this without a IF. Because I have a lots of button and I don’t want :

if(deviceName == "Automation"){     
    repo.TiTouchScreenApp.ToolbarListBox.Automation.DoubleClick();
} else if(deviceName == "Temperature") {
    repo.TiTouchScreenApp.ToolbarListBox.Temperature.DoubleClick();
} etc etc...

Do you see a solution ?

If repo.TiTouchScreenApp.ToolbarListBox returns a list of control e.g. Buttons then do something like this :

var button = repo.TiTouchScreenApp.ToolbarListBox.Buttons.Where(b => b.Name == deviceName).FirstOrDefault();

if(button != null)
{
  button.DoubleClick();
}
