I've recently began to work with Ranorex and already got Firefox and Chrome working. Internet Explorer only seems to track dom elements for me. I don't get the usual elements I get in other browsers thus I can't track or run any tests.
I've already tried to reinstall ranorex, restart the computer, trying to deactivate security-features in IE and setting a few different ranorex settings.
I've tried ranorex 6.1 and 6.2.0 and for Internet explorer I am using the most recent version. Windows 7 64 bit.
I would love to hear any suggestions which I could still try to get it to run.
Thank you,
Christopher
Have you tried to turn off the Protected mode and the enhanced protected mode?

I need to create a firefox plugin that allows a user to take screenshots of any part of their desktop and have them uploaded to a server. There seems to be lots of plugins for screen capturing a webpage, but nothing for capturing anything outside of firefox. So after a little research I have not found much information on how this might be possible. I don't want to resort to a using a java applet but I will if that is my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I might create such a feature?
Thanks
I don't think a Firefox addon is the most appropriate approach here. Maybe split the task into a Firefox addon to offer the "upload to a server" component and a native app to do the desktop screenshot (or just integrate with existing screenshot tools).
If you're worried about complicating the installation process for end users, you could look into bundling the addon component and native app into a single installer (e.g. MSI on Windows, RPM on Linux, etc.). You'll have to come up with different apps for each platform you want to support (and maybe even each version - e.g. Windows XP vs Windows 10).
Whatever you decide, you'll probably need to create a more specific question to get further help here (there's no simple Firefox.Addons.API.TakeScreenShot() answer I'm afraid).
Also make sure you're using the right terminology - a plugin is the deprecated NPAPI approach whereas addons are still supported.
I'm actually working on taking native desktop screenshots just in the last coupel of days. I'm using js-ctypes. My work goal is the same exact thing to, upload to server. If you would like to collaborate I am very open to it! We can chat about it on #jsctypes irc channel :) irc://moznet/jsctypes (Mibbit IRC WebApp) If you don't know js-ctypes thats ok i can handle that while you can handle uploading techniques, and an editor on canvas :) The editor is a huge part of it, you can see my ideas/plans here: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/wiki/NativeShot
I'm really really interested in a collab on this!
I'm still working on windows right now, the color is messed up: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/tree/digitanks-method
I was just about to start OSX work following this example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html and here: Take ScreenShot without Window
You can install the addon from that branch and click the icon that gets added to the toolbar, it will take a screenshot with 3sec delay and then append it to the body of the selected tab. (Windows only right now)
Doneskis baby check it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nativeshot/
Got some quirks. Released it as v1.0 though. I'm working on Android support, pretty close. I need to flesh out the editor tools. Please let me know if you're willing to collaborate.
I'm having a lot of trouble getting the JQuery Sortable functionality working on my Windows 8.1 device which is running ie11.
I had this working on an iPad through the TouchPunch library, but I've had no luck with the new Dell Tablet I'm working with.
I've ran the webapp through Chrome on the tablet, and the sortable functionality works very smoothly. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get it up and running on Internet Explorer 11?
I have tried pulling down various versions of Touch Punch on GitHub, some which attempt to deal with ie10, but I've found nothing that really works with ie11, so I would be glad for some pointers. If I run the [Jquery Sortable Demo][2] on the device, I am able to drag just about by holding to the left of the table row and pulling down at the right point, but this is in no way usable.
Ideally, jQuery mobile would include the sortable functions, but it does not.
***Just to be clear, if I go to the sortable example below on my tablet:
Jquery Sortable
then I can't really get the sort funcitonality to work.
To the above source code, I have added touchpunch library, and also added
-ms-touch-action: none;
to my #sortable class.
According to some online, this should fix the issue on ie10 and ie11, but I'm not seeing it make the remotest bit of difference.
Thanks!
Okay, there was a simple answer to this in the end, although it took me a long time to find it. I started by trying to intercept touch events and failing, which eventually led me to realise that I had added the site to Compatibility View (Settings -> Compatibility View Settings), where I also had checked "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" and "Use Microsoft Compatibility lists").
I think this reverts to the site displaying in ie7 mode. Due to this, I think there are issues with the MS-touch commands being recognised, and so -ms-touch-action: none was having no effect.
To be clear, then, referencing touchpunch, whilst also using -ms-touch-action: none, should get the jQuery sortable functionality working in ie11 - just be sure to check your compatibility settings!
Quite a strange problem I have here, I am trying to run the DXUT DirectX 10/11 tutorials from DirectX sample browser. They build fine, but cannot be run in Debug mode, as this triggers the error warning "Failed to create the Direct3D device". This is strange as I can run them in release mode. The strangest thing however is that they use to run in Debug mode, and I swear I changed nothing in the day it ran, and the next day that it didn't. A friend also has the same exact problem, which happened around the same time.
Has anyone ran into this problem and know of a solution, or perhaps know why its happening beyond the obvious, I have a DirectX 11 capable card if you didn't pick that up.
Thanks.
I literally just spent all day trying to fix this exact same problem. Here is the solution which should hopefully fix yours too...
I managed to find this article explaining that a recent update, (26th February 2013 to be exact), caused the older version to mess up:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chuckw/archive/2013/02/26/directx-11-1-and-windows-7-update.aspx
That explains why it was working fine a few weeks ago, and now it just suddenly stopped working I guess!
Following their advice, I downloaded a trial version of Visual Studio 2012, and after an hour and a half of installation time, and a system restart, you should have all the new DirectX SDK files that you need.
NOTE: You don't even have to use Visual Studio 2012. The new files should fix your issues for Visual Studio 2010 and older versions I presume!
(Before doing this I also installed all the latest drivers, but I don't think that did anything to help, but it's worth upgrading drivers whenever you can, as that has fixed a similar issue I had before).
Hope this helps!!! :)
Somewhere in your code you probably have something along the line of this
#if defined(DEBUG) || defined(_DEBUG)
createDeviceFlags |= D3D10_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG;
#endif
If you do take a look at the D3D10_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG; on the msdn you will see this
To use this flag, you must have D3D11_1SDKLayers.dll installed;
otherwise, device creation fails.
You should check that you do have that dll in your system or you should reinstall the DirectX SDK.
The automatic IE10 update is what caused my issue of automatic non support of directx development. Simplest solution is downloading standalone win8 sdk at...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/hh852363
The directx debug layer dll has to be updated.
I have been working with Watin for about 1 week. I really wanted to make firefox work but had to give up after a day or so when seeing there was no way i could get jSSH working with Firefox 8 etc. Really wish there was a way of using Chrome or firefox i have to say
So returning reluctantly to IE I developed some automation software using Watin, however I have a persistent problem with Goto(href) where it seems as though the page never actually gets marked as complete. And although the browser navigates to the page and I can see the page fine, the call to Goto() just times out. After that point anything I try fails and it cant find the elements in the dom and I cant click anything programmatically. So I have to solve this timeout issue
I have read various articles suggesting fixes and have tried them all as far as I can see i.e. making sure I run as administrator, making sure that internet explorer enhanced security is switched off, etc.. I would really, really like to make Watin work - but right now I am about ready to give up and create a much, much simpler class with an embedded browser in my app. So stackoverflow is my last port of call. How can I stop Watin from timing out.
I am on Windows 7 Ultimate Version 6.1.7601 Service pack 1 build 7601
Visual Studio 2010
compiling as a .net 4.0 app
IE 9.0.8112.16421 with update KB2586448
I have a console app, no threads, [STAThread] on my Main entry point
This is my Visual Studio info:-
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0.30319 SP1Rel
Microsoft Visual C# 2010 01021-532-2002102-70185
Any help will be very greatfully received.
Regards Julian
ok, so after many months of playing and fiddling the answer to my question has several parts.
Firstly. I needed to get Watin working properly as an embedded browser in a win32 application rather than as a console app. This required me to spend a huge amount of effort getting Watin embedded the way I wanted, I had problems with STATHREAD (of course), and the pop up dialog watcher, and getting the HWND of my browser into Watin to create its browser object (I used another sample on stack overflow to do this) and then I had to ensure ScriptErrorsSuppressed=true and I finally got it working. Hoorah
However, the problem I originally had all that time ago still seems to remain with Watin.2.1.0.1196 in dealing with frame sets on asda.com.
So I have just now done a svn checkout of the watin project and I am finally hoping that the latest updates I have seen will fix this problem once and for all... and Yes I am still really looking forward to Jeroen getting IE9 or indeed any other browser working with Watin. Working with IE (any flavour) sucks
WaTiN does not support IE9 fully yet as far as I know. Jeroen (the creator) is working on getting it fully compatible with IE9, but IE9 relies on new WPF components in regards to previous versions of IE, so i'm guessing this will take some work.
We suffered from several problems as well when we upgraded our WatiN tests to IE9. In the end we force our website to render everything to IE8 standards and set IE9 to IE8 rendering mode untill there is an update from watin to fully support IE9 with all its quirkcs and features.
I'm developing an application on two different machines (home and work) and while the home one seems to run just fine, the work one is, for lack of a better word, possessed. It has been exhibiting the following issues:
When loading the application, it will start at the simulator's main screen instead of starting the application at random intervals. You can start the application and have it work fine, then close the simulator, reload, and have the same codebase not load.
Going to applications doesn't show the application itself, in fact it never does.
Trying to load the applications cod file (File->load java program) never works. Tried the steps in this thread, with unreliable results.
Extremely small changes, such as modifying the value of a width variable by one, commenting out a function such as makeMenu or adding a button will cause code to no longer work, with no errors shown by the IDE.
Using clear.bat with sometimes work, sometimes not. Same with manually removing all files with the name of the project.
reinstalling the eclipse environment and the blackberry plugin did nothing more then burn off an hour.
having "load on startup" in the blackberry_app_descriptor.xml file is set.
Both systems are using Eclipse 3.5.1, BB plugin for eclipse 1.1 beta, Java 4.5 with the 8300 simulator. THe only difference that I am seeing is the operating system between the two systems. The work one being XP Sp3, home being vista. THe vista one isn't perfect, but I can test variable changes without flipping a coin to see if the app will even load or not.
I've tried the solutions that were similar on this forum, such as this one, but it looked to be that those solutions are dated as none of the options for the steps existed in my eclipse install.
So has anyone ran into such baffling behavior, and can it be fixed? Anything that I might have missed that could be tried?
I've been seeing this behavior with the new 1.1 plugin, the application doesn't load on startup and the FIle->load java program doesn't help. For me, the solution was I have to run a clean build every time, that is the eclipse clean and build instead of just build, not the clean.bat... Hope this helps!
Try clearing resources that have improper naming structure in your projects stuff with spaces or special character in the name of the file.
It took me two days to figure out.
One solution i got regarding your problem.
As I See Please run the application first time as Run as blackberry simulator
that is got start and here pick up run and then Run as Blackberry simulator
