I can't see the line in the test that clicked the window, but from seeing some of your code in other posts, I suspect it is clicking on (x,y) coordinates rather than an actual object. Can you confirm this for me?
Thank you. Okay- I was able to replace Click with Focus, instead of SetFocus for these controls.
I made a clip to show you the "2 clicks" I'm trying to accomplish.

My Keyword test has 2 operations and they are both Focus. Is this how you'd employ Focus to (also) click on the controls as seen in the video? Attached screenshot shows how I've set it up thus far. Thanks so very much! :-))
Best,

Poop. The Focus didn't do what I was hoping for.
tristaanogre how can we get a click in here or something else to activate the field for data entry without using coordinates? I'm at a loss.
Hi,
if i understood your scenario correctly, In your keywordtests
NewEvents - focus
newStandardevent - focus
Try#1:
What happens when you click NewEvents, Is it going to presented with popup menu? if so why don't you use click method.
If click works for NewEvents then you can use click for newStandardevent too.
NewEvents - Click
newStandardevent - Click
Try#2:
If you mouse hover to the NewEvents, Is it going to presented with popup menu? if so use like below
NewEvents - HoverMouse
newStandardevent - Click
Hello Shankar, thank you I will attempt both ways and see. May I ask - when is the FOCUS method useful?
Regards,
Arlene
Hi Marsha_R, thank you for the suggestions. I hear what you're saying - that I should move away from coordinate clicking when activating controls. But I'm still unclear which method(s) to use. So far, I've been using Click(-1, -1, skNoShift) that simulates a left-button click. They work 99% of the time.
I don't know of any other way to activate a control. Do you?
Thanks for the help again :)

SetFocus()
From Smartbear Docment
This action moves the input focus to the given object. If the object cannot obtain the input focus, the method fails and posts an error message to the test log.
