I am trying to write a program in VBScript to automate tasks that I do in Internet Explorer. I need to click a series of buttons and textboxes and I was wondering if someone could give me a hint on how to get VBScript to click them for me?
At the moment I am just telling my program to click "tab" to get to the button I want and click "enter" - which makes the program really slow. I also need to enter data into a series of textboxes and click a button that will add another textbox for me to enter information in.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Right click the button you want in VBscript to click.
Click Inspect Element.
Find the Element ID of the button.
Make VBscript click the button like the example below:
Document.getElementById("IDGOESHERE").Click

I am not an IT person at all. But I do have some questions. I have always been able to move through screens at work using the ENTER key. But somehow a setting may have been changed and I can no longer use ENTER and have to actually click the buttons. Does anyone know how to change this back? Thanks!
I'm trying to imitate a feature of Windows. For example, when you're in a folder's properties, and then open the 'Advanced' popup from the properties page; if you try to click out of it the menubar flashes and a windows error sound is made. It is not until you close the popup by pressing okay or cancel or X that you can continue.
I would like to imitate this feature in my VB.NET project, thinking there would be an easy enough way to do this, but I cannot find one.
Show the second form as Dialog from the first form. While the second form is still open, user can't interact with the first form.
I am curious about an issue in Coded UI Testing. For example I created a button named Button1. I did assertions and everything is fine. Then I changed this button's name to Button2. Now, do I have to write my assertions again or is Coded UI Test can suit in every different name change. Notice that I am not doing any input or parameter changes, I am just changing user interface. Thanks for your replies.
You should be able to change the test code easily to cope with a name change like that. Open the UI Map file in the UI Map editor; ie double-click on the uimap.uitest file in solution explorer. In the left hand pane expand the method and select the action that clicks the button. That should open the relevant control in the right hand pane. Alternatively just find the control for the button in the right pane. View the properties of the button and click on the ellipsis of the "(collection)" value of SearchProperties or the FilterProperties. One of the items shown should be the old name of the button, just rename it there.
Is there a quick way to jump to an action associated with a control.
Say there is a button on a XIB file that has an associated action. The way to find the code associated with this is rather tedious. Is there a short cut that can quickly jump to the code.
I am spoiled by Visual Studio - double click on a button and it takes you to it's handler
The fastest way I know to at least get quickly to the source file in which the action resides is the following:
select the button in the UI editor
hit ctrl+1 (this will open the “Related Files” drop down)
navigate to the “Sent Actions” sub-menu, e.g. via s, enter
select the relevant class (I think in this case there can only be one, so just hit enter again)
Once you are in the class, the action should be easy to find. If that's not the case, because your source file is so big, type ctrl+6 to open the “Document Items” drop down and start typing the name of the action. Once you see the action, select it via keyboard or mouse.
If you often don't know the name of the action, you will have to look it up before navigating to the class, e.g. by right clicking on the button.
I would advise to use ^+⎇+⌘+Enter to get to referenced code file. There you can search for #IBActions or #Outlets. If a UIButton has a segue attached, this method won't help to find it.
To review a list of actions, segues and outlets you can select an object on the storyboard and press ⎇+⌘+7 to open Connections Inspector on the right pane.
hi
I am creating firefox plugin.I have one button-1.png image and I have added it to customize toolbar.I have used one button.xul file to add button in toolbar.I have also used chrome.manifest, install.rdf,button.css,button.js.
It is showing button in toolbar,I dragged that button and dropped on toolbar.
Now my question is, when I click on that button, I want to pop up a small window.
so please tell me,what should I write in button.xul & button.js to pop up a small window.
How will I get a pop up window,when I click on a button?
What changes I need to do in button.xul & button.js?
You can use the window.open method to open a popup window. Take a look at this link. If you want to open a popup(and not a window) then you can use a panel. You can anchor a panel to an element (say button) when opening it using the openpopup method. Some examples are available here as well.
