lazy loading - objects not yet in memory

I am working with an application that uses lazy loading. In one of my tests, I am accessing a row that is visible on a normal monitor. Today I am working on my small laptop and the row is not only not visible, it is not even in memory because the app uses lazy loading to create the objects as they are needed. I can't find a way to scroll before finding the needed row (when I use several of the scroll methods for javascript I get a 'member not found' error. I can't define the row number and then scrollIntoViewIfNeeded because the row doesn't exist to find in the first place so it errors on that (panel(x) could not be found). Suggestions?

    Thanks Rraghvani, I am not using outlook, I am using this code to attach the summary ( the 'Summary.htm' is the test file I was using - 

       # Attach test report file
        attachment_path = 'C:\\Users\\JamesG\\Documents\\Summary.htm'
        with open(attachment_path, "rb") as attachment:
            part = MIMEApplication(attachment.read(), Name="test_report.pdf")
            part["Content-Disposition"] = f'attachment; filename="{attachment_path}"'
            msg.attach(part)

     

    This works but I cant find or figure out how to find the 'Test Execution Summary' for the current run ?

    I'm assuming "Page Down" as a keystroke will work to navigate downward through the table, correct?  

     

    If so, here's what I would do (pseudocode)

     

    rowNotFound = true

    while (rowNotFound) {

        If (rowTextExistsOnScreen) {

           rowNotFound = false

        }

        else {

            tableObject.Keys('[Page Down]')

        }

     

    }

      Thanks for the reply. Here is what I was trying before:

       

      function GridCellCheckboxClick(List, Row, Column)
      {
         var Row = List.Panel(Row - 1).Panel(0);
         if (! (Row.Exists = true))

             {

                 Row.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded();

              }
      }

       

      Unnecessary parts of the function were removed. I knew I would need to clean up my if statement but because the row was not even in memory yet it was failing on the declaration of the variable, which is where I think your suggestion might also fail.

        My code was pseudcode, by no means fully fleshed out or tested. It was intended to present concept.

         

        So, basically, replace you "ScrollIntoView" with sending a PageDown keystroke to the table that needs to scroll.  Then write some code to check to see if the desired row is on screen.  FindChild works well for this.  It will return a stub object with Exists = false if not found or it will return an actual object which you can then return as the result of the function if so desired.
