ramcrys Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) HI all, is it possible to get the text and then click on a menuitem of a pop-up menu of a control inside the browser ? In particular, I want to access the marked menuitem in the following screenshot:http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr34/ramcrys/606d5e01cd519f25e5a7c56817cccf0f_52440799untitled_zps662a749a.pngI am fairly new to automation (though some experience in coding C#), please give me some pointers. Thanks a lot in advance. Edited January 9, 2013 by ramcrys

BrewManNH Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 That isn't a standard control, as in it's not on the web page, it's from an add on isn't it? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post.

FireFox Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Hi, Why don't you try the available YouTube Downloaders on the forum (made in AutoIt) ? Edit: after the next post, seems like my question was ignored. Br, FireFox. Edited January 9, 2013 by FireFox
ramcrys Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Yes, it actually comes from the IDMCC extesion for Firefox / IDM plugin for IE Also, I choose this approach just to explore and use what I have at hand (IDM + IE / FIrefox - yeah, Firefox is ok too, I just happened to take a screenshot of the IE case ) So, is it even possible ? I mean, click the panel, then inspect the menuitems' text and finally click a specific menuitem ? Edited January 9, 2013 by ramcrys
junkew Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 yes, it seems to be possible with ui automation from windows. Tried with inspect.exe to recognize the controls (within Internet Explorer) and they are recognizable. see this and this for the direction on how to do this within AutoIT FAQ 31 How to click some elements, FAQ 40 Test automation with AutoIt, Multithreading CLR .NET Powershell CMDLets
ramcrys Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) ^Firefox: I will try the tool you suggested, thanks for the advice . It's just that I want to use what I currently have and learn more on the way. Edited January 10, 2013 by ramcrys
