Send("{DOWN}") on a context menu doesn't work everytime in AutoIt - (Moved)


Recommended Posts

I am automating Eclipse IDE in a windows 10 system. In this automation I need to search for "QueueManagers" in a SysTreeView32, select it, right-click it to open the context menu and move to "Open in new window". <br>
The AutoIt inspect shows only class of the context menu and no other details. <br>

So I used Send("{DOWN}") three times. <br>
This works sometimes, but sometimes it doesn't start from top of context menu and chooses the wrong option.<br>

I have used the below code: 

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#include <GuiTreeView.au3>

WinActivate("eclipse-workspace - Trial/src/module-info.java - Eclipse IDE")

Sleep(1000)

Local $hWnd = ControlGetHandle("eclipse-workspace - Trial/src/module-info.java - Eclipse IDE", "", "SysTreeView321")
;MsgBox(0, "Handle", $hWnd)
Sleep(1000)

Local $searchText = "QueueManagers"
$hItemFound = _GUICtrlTreeView_FindItem($hWnd, $searchText)
;MsgBox(0, "Result", $hItemFound)

If $hItemFound Then
    Sleep(1000)
    _GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem($hWnd, $hItemFound)
    _GUICtrlTreeView_ClickItem($hWnd, $hItemFound, "right")

    Send("{DOWN}")
    Send("{DOWN}")
    Send("{DOWN}")
EndIf 

I tried using Sleep(), but I got the same results.

Is there a way to make Send("") start from top?<br>
Is there any other way to search for "Open in new window" in the context menu and click that?

Moved to the appropriate AutoIt General Help and Support forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

you were unlucky, 
in firefox  works Send("{HOME}") = first  ,  Send("{END}")  = last

 

:unsure: Edit:

; to go in New
Send("w")

Looks like all those menu items have keyboard shortcut you could use instead of using the menu (Alt+Shift+S).

Or, when the menu is displayed, use Alt + whatever letter is underlined to activate that item.

Try it manually with your keyboard to find the right keys, then use with Send or preferably ControlSend.
