How to work with Menu-bar items-Cannot be Spied

Hello,



Thanks Ryan for your reply.



The problem I have is the MainMenu method you have described works fine for the first run, but  fails when we run it multiple times.

What is the solution?

Hello,



This is the JS Script I am using-

Hello,



Thanks for your help, but still the problem is not solved. The problem is that it can traverse the tree up to the third tab or layer, after that it clicks the next tab but it goes off before it can click on the next window.

Is there any way to slow down and validate the process for each level of pipe delimited data?

And also, do I need to add this object to the object browser to any specific class?



Thank you,

Hello,



Removing the Index did not work, and wildcarding did help a bit.

But still the run is not stable, the same problem exists.

I am trying text recognition, but its is also failing.



Whatis the solution?

Hello,



I will make it very clear, the problem is that the script runs successfully sometimes and sometimes not, mean to say it can traverse the entire path and the respective window opens.

At times it clicks the entire path but the window does not open.

At times layer two or three comes and vanishes.

So, is there a way to keep running the script until the required pop up window opens when the full pipe delimited path is complete?



Thank you,

Hello,

First of all, I would like to mention that the Menu bar cannot be spied.

Second thing is Text Recognition is failing.

Third is that, record and play back is also failing.

So, the only method working is Menu.

Can u tell me how to put it in a loop, so that it runs until the full pipe string is executed thus opening a window?

This is the window I want to open-

Sys.Process("FileMaintenance", 2).VBObject("frmValidations")



This is what I get, when I RECORD-

But, when I play it back, it fails.

function Test2()

{

  var fileMaintenance;

  fileMaintenance = Sys.Process("FileMaintenance", 2);

  fileMaintenance.frmFMMainMenu.Click(13, 32);

  fileMaintenance.Window("#32768", "", 2).Miscellaneous.Click(23, 6);

  fileMaintenance.Window("#32768", "", 1).Drug_Auto_Validate_Setting.Click(57, 4);

}

Hello,



I found what the problem is, It clicks on "File" tab successfully, next it clicks the next tab that is "Miscellaneous" the to click the third tab which is "Units Of Measure"  it traverses diagonally and due to this the third tad which was visible, vanishes and then it tries to click the item on the third tab which is not present.

So, how to make it traverse horizontally so that the tabs once occurred wont vanished?

Hi Tanya,



Thanks for your reply.

I tried making the mouse movement delay to zero, but the problem still exists.

The solution is to make it move horizontally through the menu items, Can we do that?

Or, is there an alternate solution?

Hi Tanya,



The other method you have suggested is working great, thank for your help.

Can you just briefly describe what it is doing and what is the variable level in -

function ClickItem(items, itemStr, level) stand for?



Thanks again for your help.

Amith
