Appium: How to write for-loop to click through buttons with index?

Question

I am using C# and Appium to automate a Windows 10 software for my company. On the bookmarks bar, there is a list of tabs that I want to click through. They are buttons that are indexed from 15-20. Rather than doin

driver.FindElementsByXpath("//Pane/Button[15]").Click();

driver.FindElementsByXpath("//Pane/Button[16]").Click();

driver.FindElementsByXpath("//Pane/Button[17]").Click();

driver.FindElementsByXpath("//Pane/Button[18]").Click();

driver.FindElementsByXpath("//Pane/Button[19]").Click();

and so on, how can I write a for loop that will loop through and click onbutton[15] to button[30]? Is this even possible with Appium? Thanks!

Where is the problem? Don't you know how to do loop or what? — Selvin, Nov 27 '19 at 22:11
Hi, you might consider rechecking your tags again. I think Java in this case might not really be so helpful if you use appium the people on StackOverflow I think know enough ;) — Cedric, Nov 27 '19 at 22:25

I figured it out. I should have put the WindowsElement line in side the for loop. Probably not the most optimal solution, but it does what I want it to. Thanks everyone. Also thanks @Selvin for the roast.

for(int i=15; i<=30; i++)
        {
            WindowsElement buttons = FBsession.FindElementsByXPath("//Pane/Button")[i];
            buttons.Click();
        }
