How to fix "The menu item "XXXX" is invisible on screen."?

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to fix this? "The menu item "XXXX" is invisible on screen."? In my Keyword Test, I hover over some file menu options, and as you hover, different menus pop up and I click the end option. However, it's never getting to the end option.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Heidi

  • Depends on what the application is and how it's spawning the menus.

     

    I have hierarchical menus like this in a Delphi application and each new sub menu is seen as a totally different object to it's parent. Besides some inherited naming (thank god! It's the only way I have of finding them!) there is no direct link between a sub menu and the parent that spawned it.

     

    But other systems use a far more sensible and obvious parent/child structure as you would expect.

     

    What's the application generating them?

    When you say, "it's never getting to the end option.", do you mean that the submenus are not opening when you execute?

    Also, please post a screeshot of the properties of the 'Work Centers' element when you map it.

      Have you considered using the process described under https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/70039/ ?

       

      Essentially, you don't have to explicitly record the hovering over the menus and everything if it's a standard windows menu control.  You can simply call Menu.Click('Option|sub-option|sub-sub-option') and that should select the appropriate item.
