    Hi TanyaYatskovska 

     

    Yes it was resolved by using this way:

    1. Open the Object Spy and try recognizing the File tab. You will get some other parent object.
    2. Take the value of the property ClrFullClassName of this object.
    3. Navigate to Tools -> Current Project Properties -> Open Applications -> WPF.
    4. Add a new row to the Composite Objects list and paste the ClrFullClassName value there. Enable this new row.
    5. Try recognizing the File tab again.
    6. Repeat the above steps until you get to the File tab.

    Thanks,

Hi Carson,

 

Thanks for the reply.

I did what it says in the link you sent but, can't see any change with the object recognition.it just recognize it as a whole panel and won't "drill" down to the File tab.

The prblem wasn't to have TC identify the object but having TC being able to click the FILE menu item as shown in the screenshots, at the moment if I won't mention any coordinates TC clicks at the center of that ribbon and if I do mention coordinates it will click the correct place on my dev machine but won't click the same place (although very close) when running the same script on a remote machine.

 

Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Ofer

Can you provide code example of what you tried with the ClickItem option?

    Sure, I had code example in my original post. there you go:

    Aliases.Editor.Editor_Root_Window.MainWindowRibbonControl.RibbonMenuControls.RibbonControlInsert.Click(35, 16);

     

    Is that what you meant?

     

    Thanks,

      I would like to see how you tried to implement the ClickItem method. Using that you shouldn't have to map the specific buttons, just their parent.

        Do you mean something like this?

        Aliases.Editor.Editor_Root_Window.MainWindowRibbonControl.ClickItem(Editor.Editor_Root_Window.MainWindoRibbonControl.ClrFullClassName)

         

        Thanks,
