Hi Tanya,
I promise you that I have used both "Drag the target to point to the object" and "Point and Fix." I'm very familiar with both of those items. I understand that using Point and Fix allows you to select certain objects when you hit Control-Shift-A. I have used Point and Fix many times. Usually for menu items or sometimes tooltips that allow you to hover over them and select them.
However, In this particular case even when using "Point and fix" I can not select the object because as soon as I move my mouse towards it, it disappears.
Hi Gratis,
Thanks for the interesting idea on the fix. I will certainly look into that as it may come in handy at some point.
My Solution:
I have come to a solution with my problem that invovles the Find method. What I did was run a find for the text that exists in the popup when I expect the popup to appear. I used the name property and then used the text I was seeing in the popup as the property value. I put wild cards (*) around the text knowing that the name would contain more info then the text itself. This worked perfectly. The Find returns the object I need without any hassle.
Thank you both for your help.
