    Hi Colin,


     


    I performed some investigation. It turned out that the value of the Description property of the target tab is changed when the music is playing on it. This tab is playing audio is added to the end of the tab title. You can check it in the Object Browser. So, you can use the script below to identify whether the music is playing on the specified tab:


     




     //JScript


     function TestAudioIndicatorInChrome()


     {


      // change <TAB TITLE> in the line below 


       var tabObj = Sys.Browser("chrome").BrowserWindow(0).Client("Google Chrome").

          Client(1).Client(0).TabList(0).PageTab("<TAB TITLE>");


       var tabTitle = tabObj.Description;


       var strPlay = "This tab is playing audio";


       var Res = aqString.Find(tabTitle, strPlay);


       if ( Res != -1 ) 


         Log.Message("The music is playing")


       else


         Log.Message("The music isn't playing")


     }


     


      


      


     How does it work for you?

Hi Tanya



Thanks for the reply.



I got it working (in VBScript - I should have mentioned that). But there was a little missing info.



I had to addd "Chrome_WidgetWin_1" (Chrome's window class name) to my Project Properties > Open Applications > MSAA.



Before doing that, it didn't work.



Got the info around adding it's window class here:

I'm guessing you had probably already done this at some point so it just worked for you.



Thanks again. :)
