how to recognize the tiles in the windows delphi application

Hi All,

 

My windows application consist set of tiles .Just like the below image.

Were I can click on the tiles manually it will take to that particular screen , now when am trying recognize using the object spy its not getting identified as a each single tile , instead of that the total screen identified.

 

Sys.Process("Teachers.debug").VCLObject("frmMain").VCLObject("dxRibbonBackstageView1").VCLObject("dxRibbonBackstageViewTabSheet1").Window("TLMKTileControl", "", 1)

 

how to recognize these tiles , for now I need just how many tiles present on the screen.

 

In my previous post when I was struggling to get the count from the grid , HKosova suggested me to add the TLMKGrid  to the Developer Express Controls > VCL > QuantumGrid category. similarly do I need to add the TLMKTileControl ?

 

Anyone can help me on this .

    Sounds like a good suggestion.  It might not be the same component type so you might need to look into something else.other than Quantum Grdi but it's worth looking into.

      Hi tristaanogre

       

      Actually i tried to do that way but it was not working ,so i tried in different way by digging into the different sections of the object spy where i found this

       

      Aliases.Teachers_debug.wndTfrmMain.dxRibbonBackstageView1.dxRibbonBackstageViewTabSheet1.TLMKTileControl.Items.TileControl.Items.Items[i].TileItem.Text1.Value

       

      Which worked and all the names of the tiles present in the screen was printed in the log message :D .

       

      But the problem was here was the same tile name have two index values like Tile_1 index is 0 as well index 1, Tile_2 index is 3 and as well index  4 ,Tile_3 index is 5 as well index 6 and so on .

       

      In future if i want to click on the tiles also i think we can do it in this was only ,

       

      Does any one have any other better solution than this .kindly let me know

        I wonder if it has to do with tile sizeing?  That in that Item list, there are actually two items for each "tile" where one item is a large tile, the other is a small tile, and the visibility is probably the distinguishing factor.  Is there any indication of that?
