Unable to check a checkbox on a Silverlight web app using Ranorex automation

Unable to check a checkbox on a Silverlight web app using Ranorex automation

I am creating a Ranorex Checkbox object and then grabbing the appropriate checkbox using Ranorexpath. But I am unable to check this checkbox using the CheckBox.Check() event. On the UI, a tick mark appears on the checkbox but in reality the checkbox remains unchecked and as a result the expected messages do not appear on the screen and the test fails. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Code snipped below:

                if(value=="99283" || value =="99281")                 {                     Ranorex.CheckBox EMlevelReason="/dom[@domain='"+domain+"']//object[#'slApp']/form/form[1]/form/list[@automationid='lstOuter']/listitem[4]/list/listitem[4]/checkbox[@name='Single xray']";                                           EMlevelReason.Focus();                                          if(EMlevelReason.Checked!=true)                     {                         EMlevelReason.Focus();                         EMlevelReason.Check();  // doesn't work. the checkbox appears checked on the UI but actually remains unchecked                                       }                 }

Why do you think that it was not checked even though it was shown as checked? It sounds like a script is normally executed when the checkbox is checked, if so you could try the following code:

Mouse.Click(EMlevelReason);

We were able to develop a workaround for this. We used the click() event instead of check() i.e. in the above code we just replaced EMlevelReason.Check() with EMlevelReason.Click() Don't know why but it works now :)
