I'm trying to automate a WinForms application that contains a TcXVerticalGrid control. I'm able to access the control using the FindElementByXPath method, but I cannot figure out how to get access to the rows within the component. The component is used like a property grid, where each row has a property name in the left column and an editable value in the right column. I'm trying to figure out how to move the the correct row based on the property name, and then edit the corresponding property value.
I've tried using WinAppDriverUIRecorder.exe tool as well as Inspect.exe, neither of which were able to provide much insight. I've searched Developer Express for answers, but I wasn't able to find anything. One blog post said that they had no plans to support Microsoft's UI Automation api, while another said that they did support WinAppDriver. I'm not sure what technology Appium uses to access Windows controls, but it seems like Developer Express components might not support that technology.
I don't have much experience with Appium or WinAppDriver, so any advice would be helpful. I am able to automate the application with TestComplete, however, it's only possible with their Open Application technology. I've also tried FlaUI, but I wasn't able to get that to work with this component either.
Is it possible to automate this component with Appium, or should I look for a different technology?

What is the best way to create a Custom Report Template to print in Oracle Apex ? I saw some posts that've already been answered, but since they were Apex 5.1, I was wondering if these were still up to date, or if there are easier way no (I am using Apex v21.1). Also, the "Printing" attribute in the Reports does not give me the possiblities to do these specific things :
I would like the users to print an Interactive Report, which will display the logo of the company, the export date, and the data obviously. Is it possible to set custom margin so the list take more space on the page, and to set a custom size for the column, in case I have a column with a long text in it ?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
Welcome to one of the weakest points of Oracle APEX, printing.
Honestly, the best option is Apex Office Print(AOP), but they are a paid plugin.
They enable lots of different printing, quite easy to grasp, and I am quite satisfied with them.
Other options I have seen are:
Make an excel sheet from within the database and you can generate that dynamically(you can also expand fields, colour them, probably can also put an image in there but I havent tried that).
I once decided to torture myself and I tried printing through HTML, as in I created an HTML document with the data I wanted(I made an invoice), but that has many problems, chief among them being page breaks.
Another option that was recommended to me, but that I have not yet tried was setting up an Apache FOP, having the Oracle database generate an XML, send it there and get back a nice looking pdf(http://www.apex-reports.com/videos.html).
I hope you get something working, and if you try this Apache FOP approach please let me know how it goes.
I'm using the Rally SDK 2 to manipulate user stories from Javascript in a "Custom HTML" application.
I can query a story and retrieve its attributes.
I can update some of the attributes, like the Name of the Iteration for instance.
How can I add a successor to my story?
If I understand well, I should edit the "/HierarchicalRequirement/.../Successors" of my story, but I don't understand how to do that.
Would someone have an example, please?
Unfortunately, I don't have an exact example you can use, but the successors (or predecessors) are 'collections'. As such, you need to 'add' to the collection. There is an explanation of some of this here: https://docs.ca.com/ca-agile-central/saas/apps/2.1/doc/#!/guide/collections_in_v2
Built into the model for the artefact are routines to handle all the details. If you want more details, then you can download the sdk-debug.js file from the Rally server. To get to it, open up the developer tools in your browser and have a look where a custom app would get the sdk.js file from. The debug variant is formatted for humans to read and a very useful source of how to do things at the low levels. The definition of Rally.data.wsapi.ModelFactory has some good tips.
One of the recommendations I make to people starting out writing custom apps, is to use the developer tools in the browser to watch the network traffic that the Rally UI makes - and then work backwards to code.
This is more of a general "how do I get started" question. I would like to display my company's SSRS Integrated Sharepoint Reports in an iPad App, but I'm not sure where to start. Googling this concept didn't return any results.
We would like a native feel without displaying the reports in a Web View container.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!
Maybe you can use the webservice to get the parameters and build a little query interface. You'd have to figure out what to put in your dropdown boxes I believe.
Get params with that and then submit call the render method which would return the report to you in the desired format. Be sure to read the remarks there.
I have no clue if this would actually work. My organization built an interface like this for reporting services 2000, but it used the URL-based submitting method.
Good luck, I'd love to know if this works for you.
Using the web service is definitely your best bet. You should be able to query all the parameter information you need from the service and then render it in various formats (html is probably your best bet).
I know it's definitely doable, as I've used the web service to build custom scripts that render and and send out PDF versions of reports. It would essentially be the same task. You can find plenty of information on the web for working with it.
look at http://reports4you.software4you.com
The Website shows a server based solution to display reporting services reports on the ipad (including autentification, etc.)

With SQL Server 2012 SPI, you can now access a SSRS report from an iPad by browsing the SharePoint library or viewing the report in a Web part.
For more information about viewing and interacting with SSRS reports on the iPad, see View Reporting Services Reports on Apple iOS devices (SSRS iPad).
I want to test a terminal emulator I have, but I really don't want to learn Hercules 360, before someone mentions that.
I'm not after creating mainframe applications, what really want to do is learn how to send tn3270 screens for display on a terminal emulator. My reason is simple; I have a set of screens from a customer where their layout, look and feel, etc are all fixed. I want to test my client software against those screens without having to trail all the way out to the customers site to do it in the first instance.
Failing that, does anyone know of a "less intense" method of simulating a tn3270 environment complete with fields, attributes, etc.. ?
I found a reference to an old freeware product called miniFrame by CodeCutter, but the website for it no longer exists and google returns various links that just point back to it.
Thanks
I need to implement a dialog for a web application (ASP.NET/C#) where users can search and select one or more clients from the company's database.
Actually an existing version is already used (see attached image) and I have to replace it with a new version (it comes from an external legacy software and will be dismissed).
The goal is to provide an intuitive and easy to use GUI, still providing the basic functionalities like: search for a client and add it or remove previously inserted.
My idea would be to develop the dialog with jQuery Dialog plugin and using web methods and Ajax/JSON to interact with them for interacting with the server and the DB. I cannot find a good solution yet for the contacts list, since I would avoid using GridViews or tables, if possible, for listing them.
Does anyone knows if further plugins or best patters exist for develop this UI and its functionalities?
I wanted to have the same in my application. After talking to the users i found that such dialog could easily be replaced by an Autocomplete with Multiple select.
See the jqueryUI demopage here.
If this does not fit your needs i would go with two lists <ol> or <ul>, a pagination plugin and perhaps a search plugin. But haven't done this so far.
Thanks for the hint, indeed for the search I also thought to a autocomplete for make the search easier.
My bigger concerns were about the Add and Remove selected Clients in a "modern" fashion.
I found this MultiSelect plugin that works perfectly for my needs (and maybe it could be useful for yours as well).
Not only it let use Multiselect to add/remove entries, but also have some auto-filtering capabilities when searching the entries. I will try to add this to my solution.
