Accessing Sub Menu Items from Context Menu
This is my first question to the community. I'm testing a WPF app with TC v12.60 and trying to access sub menu items from a context menu generated from a right-click on an object.
The context ...

The recorded action converted to the following steps:
Aliases.CrewWare.HwndSource_PopupRoot.PopupRoot.Click(58, 105)
Aliases.CrewWare.HwndSource_PopupRoot.PopupRoot.Click(68, 11)
Aliases.CrewWare.HwndSource_PopupRoot.PopupRoot.Click(64, 15)
The image snapshots for each step above showed the correct submenu, but when run, all of the clicks occured in the first-level menu, not the submenus. Additionally, these are still based on relative X,Y coordinates of the object. I would like to access the menu items by name, header, or possibly even a tag in the WPF object.
The TC Click Action accepts X,Y coordinates, so name or index will not work as parameters there.
Others report success using FindChild, but I have not been able to get FindChild to return the menu item object.
The object returned by Point and Fix object:
Aliases.CrewWare.HwndSource_PopupRoot.PopupRoot.WPFObject("Decorator", "", 1).WPFObject("NonLogicalAdornerDecorator", "", 1)
I'm thinking I need to poke around this object somehow.
Poking around the Aliases.CrewWare.HwndSource_PopupRoot.PopupRoot.WPFObject("Decorator", "", 1).WPFObject("NonLogicalAdornerDecorator", "", 1) object has been enlightening, but I cannot figure out how to access the menu items by name. I know this has been solved because I see other solutions. Can someone help me understand what I'm working with?
While poking around, I did write the following snippet and received the following results. Am I barking up the right tree or pursuing a futile course of action? Can someone explain what these object are?
Script:
# Attempting to figure out how to access context menu items by names, so far unsuccessful
arrayproperties=["ClrClassName"]
arrayvalues=["*"]
something = Aliases.CrewWare.HwndSource_PopupRoot.PopupRoot.FindAll(arrayproperties, arrayvalues, 100, True)
for x in range(len(something)):
Log.Message("something[" + str(x) + "]" + something[x].ClrClassName + ", " + something[x].Name)
somethingelse = something[x].FindAll(arrayproperties, arrayvalues, 100, True)
for y in range(len(somethingelse)):
Log.Message("somethingelse[" + str(y) + "]" + somethingelse[y].ClrClassName + ", " + somethingelse[y].Name)
Output:
something[0]PopupRoot, WPFObject("PopupRoot", "", 1)
somethingelse[0]PopupRoot, WPFObject("PopupRoot", "", 1)
somethingelse[1]Decorator, WPFObject("Decorator", "", 1)
somethingelse[2]NonLogicalAdornerDecorator, WPFObject("NonLogicalAdornerDecorator", "", 1)
somethingelse[3]AdornerLayer, WPFObject("AdornerLayer", "", 2)
somethingelse[4]AdornerLayer, WPFObject("AdornerLayer", "", 1)
something[1]Decorator, WPFObject("Decorator", "", 1)
somethingelse[0]Decorator, WPFObject("Decorator", "", 1)
somethingelse[1]NonLogicalAdornerDecorator, WPFObject("NonLogicalAdornerDecorator", "", 1)
somethingelse[2]AdornerLayer, WPFObject("AdornerLayer", "", 2)
somethingelse[3]AdornerLayer, WPFObject("AdornerLayer", "", 1)
something[2]NonLogicalAdornerDecorator, WPFObject("NonLogicalAdornerDecorator", "", 1)
somethingelse[0]NonLogicalAdornerDecorator, WPFObject("NonLogicalAdornerDecorator", "", 1)
somethingelse[1]AdornerLayer, WPFObject("AdornerLayer", "", 2)

something[3]AdornerLayer, WPFObject("AdornerLayer", "", 2)
somethingelse[0]AdornerLayer, WPFObject("AdornerLayer", "", 2)
something[4]AdornerLayer, WPFObject("AdornerLayer", "", 1)
somethingelse[0]AdornerLayer, WPFObject("AdornerLayer", "", 1)
No solution found on how to access context menu items by Name or by Header name.
Did you ever get the items in the Context menu to work based on their names? Having the same issue right now.
I haven't revisted the project in a very long time. I will go back and review where we left-off. I don't think we ever found a fool-proof solution, but I'll let you know where we ended-up.
