Mescius Controls for Desktop Applications

Ranorex Studio provides native support for selected Mescius controls in .NET Framework and .NET desktop applications. You can identify these controls and their individual elements in Ranorex Spy, add them to a repository, and use them in automated tests.

Supported Mescius controls

Support is available for applications developed with:

• .NET Framework
• .NET

MultiRowPlus for Windows Forms

For MultiRowPlus for Windows Forms 12, Ranorex Studio can recognize:

• The GcMultiRow control.
• Individual rows, columns, and cells.
• Empty cells.
• Cells containing numbers, Latin characters, or Japanese text.

You do not need to enable GDI+ capture or add the control’s class name to the GDI capture list.

SPREAD for Windows Forms

For SPREAD for Windows Forms 17.0J, Ranorex Studio can recognize:

• The FpSpread control.
• Individual rows, columns, and cells.
• Empty cells.
• Cells containing numbers, Latin characters, or Japanese text.

You do not need to enable GDI+ capture or add the control’s class name to the GDI capture list.

Ranorex Studio also supports recognizing empty cells in SPREAD for Windows Forms 12.0J.

SPREAD for WPF

For supported SPREAD for WPF controls, Ranorex Studio can recognize:

• Individual cells, including empty cells.
• Cells containing English or Japanese text.

You can add embedded controls to a repository and add actions.

Identify Mescius elements in Ranorex Spy

To inspect a supported Mescius control:

1. Open the application that contains the Mescius control.
2. Open Ranorex Spy.
3. Select Track.
4. Point to the control, cell, or embedded element you want to identify.

Ranorex Spy highlights the element and displays it in the element tree. You can then add the element to a repository and use it in your automated tests.

Note: For the supported Windows Forms controls, native recognition replaces the previous workaround of enabling GDI+ capture.
