right Click on a object

[ramesh.tahiliani]

hi

i wanted to right click the cell of a table and then select some menu option
when i try to record ; nothing comes in the code

I think for right clicking; first we'll hav to set the focus on the required cell and then right click on it .
How will i be abl to do it

Thanks
Ramesh

Hi,

Did you tried getRoproperty for finding x, y coordinates and then 'object.Click [x], [y], 1' where 1 is for right click.

Hi tariksheth,

i think it's not a good idea to use the x and y axis propeteries to click on the object generally we should not use x and y axis to identify any object.

If may i ask what kind of object are you going to right click? You have to play around with GetROProperty or check out the FIREEVENT

You could try this one.

Code:

Set obj = CreateObject("Mercury.DeviceReplay")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'Get the absolute coordinates of the Object
absx = menu.QueryValue("abs_x")
absy = menu.QueryValue("abs_y")

obj.MouseClick absx, absy, 2
'Optional wait statement
wait 3

For i = 1 To idx-1
WshShell.sendkeys "{DOWN}"
Next
WshShell.sendkeys "{ENTER}"
Set WshSEll = nothing
Set obj = nothing

Sorry , Still not clear with ideas suggested

As one idea was to get the cordinates at run time and click on the object; can we folow it or Do we have some idea better than this

thanks

I think you can set the focus on required cell using ChildItem.
Have you tried this? you can then do a right click using any of the methods suggested above.

One of the few reasons why QTP wouldnt record is because the object could be a custom object. So, it is necessary to find out the object dev type.

Spying the object is a great value here, Do you get webtable ? If so then you can try the firevent method after selection.

Adding my 2 cents, Obtaining Co-ordinates should be the last resort because they are very much dependent on the system configuration and the application design behaviour.
