    Hi,

     

    Like Robert wrote...

    Web applications are extremely inconsistent and may use dozens of different techniques within the same application to do the same thing: set element itself as disabled, set its parent as disabled (or parent of the parent, or...), change applied class during runtime, ...

    The most easy and effective way to answer your question is to ask developers about how this button is disabled.

    If developers are not accessible then you will have to spend your time investigating differences between the enabled and disabled button (and its parent(s) ) in the Object Browser to find out the proper indicator.

Are You use nameMapping?

 

If naswer is yes then remember to refreshMappingInfo() ob specific object before use property.

 

"I was trying to use properties Enabled but Enabled always gives me True not matter if the button is disabled or not"

 

NameMapping is the period of time when the object was assigned to e.g. a variable. If the state of an object changes during a program operation, you have several options:

 

1. you can read its state directly from the "Object Browser", i.e. you can view the elements declared in the memory of the system in use

 

2. you refresh the condition of the mapped object and use it

 

3. you search for the item again with a function such as findxxx() and have a "fresh" object to work on
