I use Automation anywhere today.
I want to know which command should I use.
(I do not know where is manual about command.)
I want to divide the following work with the characters displayed when a certain button is pressed.
For example,
if I press the button A, either yes or no will be displayed on the screen.
If yes displayed, it ok.
but If no, I want to press a different button.
but I don't know which command to judge display.
If you know that, please help me.
Automation anywhere can be used to automate a UI.
If you have a UI which has a button and on pressing that button your UI displays A or B, then you can automate the flow with automation anywhere.
First, you need to use object cloning to clone the button and click on it.
Second, use object cloning again to get value/name property of result and store it into a variable.
Finally, you can put an if-else/if-elseif condition on the variable and enclose your code in the condition accordingly.
You can also find some examples on automation anywhere official documentation website

I've added a controlled tour in my app using ReactJoyride. At a particular step, the tour will progress only when the 'Ongoing' tab/button is clicked (see image).
This 'Ongoing' button is inside the spotlight.
I've tested this manually and it works perfectly. However, while testing this using Selenium, I can't seem to find a way to click on this button.
I'm getting the following error :
It says that react-joyride__overlay will receive the clicks. But react-joyride__spotlight is a child element of react-joyride__overlay and i've enabled spotlightClicks.
The current code that i'm using is this : (test.rb)
the commented lines of code are the other ways that i've tested. All of them failed.
If you can point me in the correct direction, I would really appreciate it!
The problem here is, your desired element is overlay-ed by other element, so this other element is hiding your element. All you have to do is, you have check whether this overlay is permanent or temporary. If it's temporary, you have to write the code to wait until the other element gets disappeared, If it's permanent, then you have to issue the click on top of the other element so that your desired element would receive the click.
Let me assume your overlay is permanent so try this code
find(xpath: "//div[#class='react-joyride__overlay']").click
I want to know the event in blocks section using which the entered text value can be obtained without a form submission through button.
Let's say user inputs text in mobile phone through keyboard and presses enter. In this case I want some event to trigger and get the value that user entered.
There are 2 events available like lostfocus and gotfocus.
Will these work? Or is there any other good approach for getting text value on pressing enter?
Unfortunately there is no such event like OnEnterPressed available in MIT App Inventor and the events LostFocus and GotFocus will not work in this case.
What you currently can do is
use a button and use the Button.Click event, or
create your own custom keyboard, see also this example
Currently there is a limitation for App Inventor extensions, which only can be used for non-visible components. Later as soon as also visible components are doable, then you could write your own textbox extension and add an event yourself.
Edit concerning the new question in the comments about different screens:
Use different screens wisely
Before starting to create another screen, first you should think about is it really necessary? See also Building apps with many screens and SteveJG's post about advantages/disadvantages, because in only one screen you also can use vertical arrangements to simulate different screens, just set the arrangements to visible = true/false as needed...
You can insert a Clock component that monitors the TextBox1.Text. When it triggers, it checks if the TextBox1.Text has changed and saves it to a variable. When it triggers again, it compares the variable with TextBox1.Text. After the user finishes typing, the variable and TextBox1.Text will be equal and then you can trigger the event like you eanted when the user pressed Enter.
Hope this helps!
I'm trying to activate Hint from control of different application created from delphi upon focus, I'm using hook to identify the focused control, and then use WM_MOUSEMOVE, which I think will activate the Hint of that control, the handle would be the Control itself and the lParam is the Left and Top of the Control. The Control activate the OnMouseMove Event, but the Hint never shows. but when I use SetCursorPos, Hint show, but I need to show the Hint with out the cursor move on that Control. Can you please help me with this? Thank you in advance... by the way I'm using Delphi XE4
Among the really asked question is how to show the hint of a control that resides on another application (i am afraid without hook that application can not be done), the title is "Delphi - Activating the Hint from another control of Application".
First is first: That can be done without knowing what language the other app was done, but it is very complex to put it here (and i am not an expert on such way of coding, also i hate apps that work that way).
Second: The main idea is to hook the other application, search on Google some code of that apps, that can show you a rectangular hole square of the object the mouse is passing over, that application while doing it is iconized (i do not remember the name of it).
Waht such app does: As you move the mouse over the screen it overlays a rectangular over the control that mouse is over, then if you press the key to print screen, that small region is the only thing that goes to clipboard; on of such apps i saw had an extra funcion, they can move such controls if you press cursors on keyboard, also can hide/enable/disable such control... more, it can also make controls that are invisible to be visible, etc... i saw it working on my computer, and hey, for fun it is pretty and to DeBug or get extra things on some apps is also great (make some menús to be visible and enabled and then can use such funtions).
Please, please, understand i am agaist piracy and also against using such apps to let code to be run... some apps need pay for letting some menus enabled, but they have the code there, no need to change EXE to have/use that menus; just using this kind of apps makes that limited apps to be unlimited (just enable or show hidden menus and voila).
Note: To unhide menus, mouse point is not needed to be over the app, can be anywhere and is not moved.
The idea i want to say is: Any app can move, alter any control on any other app (at least on Windows) that is running, so maybe there can be a way to show such hint.
In the past i had use such app (sorry i do not remember the name) for DeBug my own apps, so i do not need to recompile in such cases where something was wrongly hidden, also work with buttons, labels, texts, combos, memos, etc.
Now my small problem is: I just need exactly what title say, but i can not make it to work.
Must be:
Mouse position must be irrelevant (it also must be able to be outside the application)
Just when a button that has focus is pressed with keyboard (Space or Enter) or just after some code somewhere on my application, i want to show the Hint of a specific TEdit for a short period of time.
I did not get Hint to be shown; not unless mouse point is over such TEdit but i want/need mouse pointer to not be over it, neither it to jump to the TEdit.
Idea Conept for that Hint to be shown: After doing some code that changes something, show extra info associated.
Example:
A button with that loads a file using an open dialog, filename is put on a ReadOnly TEdit (so it let user copy the text, but not change it); i want extra info that i punt on .Hint of such TEdit to be shown inmediatly.
That hint use is for not overload window with a lot of fields (TLabels) for showing such file data.
Simple idea: such Hint shows TimeStamp and size of the selected file.
P.D.: Not much related (since i am trying with a normal plain text hint), but hints can also store a full HTML page and with 3rd party tools be shown as an HTMLhint, so they can show a lot info of that file (also its content, etc) in a web based format; as i say i first try with standard plain text hints.
In order to show hint programatically you need to call TApplications ActivateHint method to which you specify the position parameter.
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE3/en/Vcl.Forms.TApplication.ActivateHint
Based on position parameter Application automatically finds which controll is at that position and shows its hint.
NOTE: Position parameter screen coordinates in pixels and not your controll coordinates. So you will have to use ClientToScreen method to change your coordinates apropriately.
You can see simple example of how to use this here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15031208/3636228
Now if you need to do this from another application then you will have to add some comunication mechanizm to these two application so that one could send a proper message to tell the other to show the hint at specific position. But this does require you to be able to change both applications.
EDIT: This works with VCL applications but I'm not sure if it would work with FireMonkey applications.
I have a ranorex project, which automated an use case with clicking 5 buttons in an application.
To set up this project I used the record function. I defined some sleep times between the clicks.
The run with the clicks is in a loop, where the loop count is dynamically defined. One button of the five and always the same button, Ranorex "ignores" sometimes. According to the log file, the button is visible and enabled and ranorex also runs the code with the Click(), but the application doesn’t receive the click. Before in code the click is called, I check with an “If” whether the button is visible and enabled - and if the click() is called (or doesn't), I log it to ranorexlog. Sometimes the application is running through and all the clicks work and sometimes this button click is missing one or more times. It doesn’t depend on the sleep time between the clicks, because I tried long and small pause times. It doesn’t depend on the focus of the application, too, because I switched the focus several times.
Does anybody know this problem, workarounds or what I’m doing wrong?
the obvious workaround is to use Mouse.Click("{Button}") with a 0 duration rather than invoking the click event, or if you are invoking the mouse click invoke the buttons click action. (sorry since they are both named Click() i don't know which one you are using).
As to what is happening, from your description it sounds like your script is finding more than one element with the same xpath. This would cause issues with the click event because it may try to click on the element, but it's the first xpath that matches not the second. Are there any optional elements in this sequence of button clicks that appear? for instance a busy spinner with inner text of "OK" that is hidden from view when you are clicking a button on a form with inner text of "OK" would cause two elements to be found if the xpath was looking for an inner text of ok. This element that is causing may not have been caught in the recorder because it might not have been present at the time.
Another possibility if you are using Mouse.Click() (particularly if this is a website)is that it is possible your button is not actually on the screen, I know that should be taken care of by the visible check but it is visible on the dom even though it is not visible on the screen that causes issues.
I highly recommend do not use the recorder to create test suites that need to be re-runnable. It would actually be better to use the spy tool to create a repository or several repositories for the product you are testing, this way you can be sure the xpaths are all unique, which using the recorder there is no gaurantee. You can actually record with the created repository, and ranorex will attempt to find item in the repository before creating a new item, so the recorder will use this repository when creating recordings.
I've recently upgraded to Xcode 5.1 and I'm experiencing the most annoying bug. The instant search or method search dialog that allows you to search the methods on the given source file you are looking at isn't allowing me to enter more than one character. I have large source files and I tend to rely on that a lot. Any idea why this might be happening. I've tried re-installing Xcode (simply be dragging it in the trash).
You can find the search field I'm talking about by clicking the method as shown in the screenshot and simply typing something.
When I type the character gets replaced with the last letter entered.
(This one's just informational: I don't think it will fit in a comment, and want to report on what suggestions worked and didn't.)
I ran into this same problem. I accidentally typed some other key combo when trying to do Ctrl+6 to open the Document Items dropdown, and it was all out of whack after that.
As clance_911 mentioned, the filtering would work after clicking in the search box. So for example, to filter for "init", I could hit Ctrl+6 to open the Document Items, type "i" to start filtering (but then any subsequent letters would replace the i), click into the search text box, and continue typing the "nit". This works, but it's a pain.
As Moze pointed out, this seems to be specific to external displays. Sure enough, it worked fine on my MacBook display, but if I moved Xcode over to the external display, it stopped working. In my case, dragging the menu bar in the display Arrangements settings (to make the external monitor the main display) did solve the problem: the filter worked correctly with Xcode in either window. Sorry, Etienne :-(
The other solution that worked for me was simply closing the MacBook: use it in clamshell mode with only the external display. This is my normal setup anyway, but I know that's not ideal for everyone.
It happens if Xcode is open in external display that is not main display.
To fix it, open display setting's Arrangement tab and drag menu bar to display that you are working on.
