Use ObjectIdentifier property with QuerySelector

Hello, I am using a desktop version of a web application, and when I use the Object Spy I can recognize different buttons, and dropdowns, etc. These objects have a unique "ObjectIdentifier" property...

    hello sonya_m, no, unfortunately the reply had nothing to do with my question (except for the fact that the word "QuerySelector" is mentioned both in my post and the reply). 

    Anyway, after several attempts I concluded that it is not possible to use the ObjectIdentifier property in the QuerySelector method.

    I'll have to keep using the default FindObject method (which is terribly slow), until I can request to modify the HTML code of our application to insert the proper IDs so I can switch to the QuerySelector as my default method to find elements.

Hello,

I have used queryselector to operate in web. It can work.

But I haven't  used it in Desktop App.

 

You can check the link QuerySelector Method in detail.

I hope it could be helpful.
