System.Windows.Automation is EXTREMELY slow. System.Windows.Automation is full of bugs. It may not return all children of an AutomationElement, which is a very severe bug. Apart from that the implementation is not thread safe. System.Windows.Automation is deprecated. Do not use it! In the MSDN you find the following note: UI Automation was first available in Windows … Read more
Have a look at SIKULI. Sikuli is a visual technology to automate and test graphical user interfaces (GUI) using images (screenshots). SIKULI uses a very clever combination of taking screenshots, and embedding them into your python (it’s jython, actually) script. Take screenshots: and use them in your code:
I propose you a different method, using a combination of the System.Threading.Mutex class and UIAutomation AutomationElement class. A Mutex can be, as you already know, a simple string. You can assign an application a Mutex in the form of a GUID, but it can be anything else. Let’s assume this is the current Application Mutex: … Read more
It’s possible with Selenium alone, but it’s not simple. It requires to inject a new INPUT element in the page to receive the file through SendKeys. Then, the script needs to simulate the drop by sending the dragenter, dragover, drop events to the targeted area. static void Main(string[] args) { var driver = new ChromeDriver(); … Read more
Accessing new windows via Cypress is intentionally not supported. However, there are many ways this functionality can be tested in Cypress now. You can split up your tests into separate pieces and still have confidence that your application is covered. Write a test to check that when performing the action in your app, the window.open … Read more
The problem is here: Wizard[‘Create Shortcut on Desktop’].wait(‘enabled’).check_by_click() check_by_click() uses click_input() method that moves real mouse cursor and performs a realistic click. Use check() method instead. [EDIT] If the installer doesn’t handle BM_SETCHECK properly the workaround may look so: checkbox = Wizard[‘Create Shortcut on Desktop’].wait(‘enabled’) if checkbox.get_check_state() != pywinauto.win32defines.BST_CHECKED: checkbox.click() I will fix it in … Read more
Here is an attempt to implement an Automation solution to the problem. The problem: Attach one or more Event Handlers to each existing Form in a Project (or a subset of them), without editing/modifying these classes existing code. A possible solution comes from UIAutomation, which provides means to detect when a new Window is opened … Read more
Original Answer Use EnumWindows and enumerate through all the windows, using GetWindowText to get each window’s text, then filter it however you want. [DllImport(“user32.dll”, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] private static extern int GetWindowText(IntPtr hWnd, StringBuilder strText, int maxCount); [DllImport(“user32.dll”, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)] private static extern int GetWindowTextLength(IntPtr hWnd); [DllImport(“user32.dll”)] private static extern bool EnumWindows(EnumWindowsProc enumProc, IntPtr … Read more
There is a way using Java from Matlab, specifically the java.awt.Robot class. See here. Apparently there are two types of programs, regarding the way they work when called from Matlab with system(‘…’): For some programs, Matlab waits until the program has finished before running the next statement. This happens for example with WinRAR (at least … Read more
You can do it by using window_handles and switch_to.window method. Before clicking the link first store the window handle as window_before = driver.window_handles[0] after clicking the link store the window handle of newly opened window as window_after = driver.window_handles[1] then execute the switch to window method to move to newly opened window driver.switch_to.window(window_after) and similarly … Read more
