    Hi Nishera,

     

    this is a desktop application. no this is not an open application. it is a in-house developed in .NET.

     

    Thanks.

      I ran in to a similar issue with my companies .net application. I had to have them implement a right click command line essentially.

       

      I turn on a special mode from a test menu which exposes a .net commandline panel, i then set text in that window to equate to something from the right click menu. Then i send [enter] which sends the command through the right click piping sneaking around the fact right click does not work.

       

      It was annoying but it works well, just had to talk the developer in to doing it. 

       

      sample code

       

      //this opens the right click menu in scene

      cmdBox.SetText("widget clt_context_menu_show");
      cmdBox.Keys("[Enter]");

       

      //This selects the item from the right click menu
      cmdBox.SetText("widget clt_context_menu_exec \"Elevation: Unlock\" ");
      cmdBox.Keys("[Enter]");
