Handling different values of the same object attribute, in two areas of the application?

UPD: AlexKaras beat me to it. :)

If there are no other objects with IDs ending in "MenuInner", you can use wildcard search:

var mainMenu = page.FindChild("idStr", "*MenuInner", 10);

Since v. 11.2, Find methods also support regular expressions:

var mainMenu = page.FindChild("idStr", "regexp:^(main)|(nav)MenuInner$", 10);

A couple of notes:

• Use FindChild and not Find. Find starts searching from the parent object itself (in your example - page), FindChild skips the parent object.
• The fourth parameter of Find/FindChild is a boolean (Refresh=true/false) and not a number. Review the parameters to make sure they are correct.

Hi,

If i was in that situation, i will do like below:

var mainMenu = page.Find("idStr", "mainMenuInner", 10, 1000);
var navMenu = page.Find("idStr","navMenuInner", 10, 1000);

var menuObject = null;

if(mainMenu.Exists)
{
menuObject = mainMenu;
Log.Message("selected the object with idStr as mainMenuIner");
}
else if(navMenu.Exists)
{
menuObject = navMenu)
Log.Message("selected the object with idStr as navMenuInner");
}

//Here use if to check whether that has object or not 

if(menuObject != null)
{

//Do your stuff
}
