Drag a file from Windows Explorer to AUT

Hi,

 

Scenario:

Select a file from Windows Explorer, Click and Drag into AUT Grid. Upload dialog should be displayed.

 

I want to drag a file from Windows Explorer into my AUT grid.

 

Question:

How do i select a particular file from Windows Explorer.

 

P.S: I have done code for opening Windows Explorer with specified path using cmd.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Bingoo karthick7, I too followed the same post for this and found the solution.

     

    Solution:

     

    Adding DirectUIHWND class in MSAA, Text Recognition and UI Automation in Project properties.

     

    then,

     

    function testasdf()
{
       fn_ClickaFilein_WE("test_file_01.txt")
}
function fn_ClickaFilein_WE(str_FileOrFolerName)
{
      var WindowsExplorer = Aliases.WindowsExplorer.ContentPane;
      var arr_Items = null;
      
      fn_OpenWindowsExplorer(Project.Path + "Test_Files_Folders");//Custom function
      
      arr_Items = WindowsExplorer.FindAllChildren("ObjectType","ListItem")
      
      for(var i = 0 ; i < arr_Items.length ; i++)
      {
            if(aqString.Compare(aqConvert.VarToStr(arr_Items[i].value),str_FileOrFolerName,false) == 0)
            {
                  arr_Items[i].Click();
                  break; 
            }
      }   
}

     

    Then I used Drag method.
