Select a specific ROW item in file explorer

Hello! How do I select the 5th row in file explorer? It is trying to (as it should i suppose) take the folder name but the problem for me is that this folder name will always be updated with latest date once it is created so I could like it to click the 5th row or maybe the "newest" date modified. Anyone know how to do this with my keyword tests?

    Go to Tools -> Current Project Settings.

    And compare all of these settings.

    You need the property value of WndClass of Explorer (DirectUIHWND), to be added to MSAA. As I had mentioned previously, but you don't need Explorer.

    I have the following properties defined for listItemsView.

     

    If you use method Sys.HighlightObject() it will highlight the object during playback. This will give an indication as to what object you are expecting to interact with.

      I do highlight on the Items_View and it will highlight the correct area as shown.

      It worked during your script but it will still not click object nr 4. 😞

    Does the following line, highlight the object you are expecting to select?

    If not, then create a new project (not with XPath) with the above code, and with similar name mappings that I have shown. I also do not have Extendend Find enabled.

     

    One thing I have noticed, is that your items are different!? 

    I'm not sure how your project is configured.

     

    What does your project settings look like for this?

      Okey I created a new project without Xpath and after some making it manages to work. Both can be highlighted and that was GREAT. Then I tried to copy it to be the exact same in the "main project" but this is not working.. It only highlights as before. 

       

      I even cleared the namemapping so it is the same as the working one in the fresh project.

    That's great. Finally getting somewhere!

     

    I think your project settings are not correct. I suggest you compare your project settings between the new and old one, and see what is changed.

     

    You should see ListItem objects appearing and not UIAObject.

      Hmm I could only see the difference between the "Use Xpath and CSS Selectors for web objects" 

       

      So I unchecked it, saved. Deleted the whole namemapping for Explorer. Re-did the same steps as for the newly created project. Everything looks the same but still no success, driving me crazy sadly 😞

      Again thank you so much for the help, I must have missunderstood what you meant about the MSAA earlier.
