Iterate through dynamic grid in thick client

Posted on by user42

Hello all,

I'm trying to iterate through each row in the grid, check the value in the 1st cell against a value in memory, then update the 3rd cell based on some logic.

Can someone help me puzzle this one out?

My problem is the dynamic name of the Grid control.
This is a thick client, not web.
There is a UI element with a dynamic name, Grid(###########).
1. I use these selectors, and all others I've tried, and always get the yellow exclamation point saying that multiple controls meet the same criteria, and it would use the top left.

Ordinal can sometimes be attribute that defines where the element is. So Ordinal 0 would usually be first row.
Toggle on the Ordinal and try with different numbers in it and see if that returns correct cells (0 = row 1, 1 = row 2 etc).

If not then try the same with the second element (2 Pane 'Grid Contents') or see if that has some identifying attributes that don't change each run.

If you are able to use ordinal increment by 1 is fine, else if selector change based on grid value, then best option to extract grid value and loop it inside, for that first try to select 1st and 2nd grid value and check the selector what value it is getting changed, then you can work on that, whether it is ordinal or name.
