I'm trying to get a submenu so that I can make changes to it before it is displayed.
So I created an OnInitMenu() handler for my window. And I had planned to use pMenu->GetMenuItemInfo() to get the submenu.
However, it doesn't appear this will work. In order to locate the menu I want, I must supply the menu command ID (I do not consider it satisfactory to hard code item positions). But menu items that open submenus do not have command IDs. I can get a menu command that exists inside that submenu, but then I still don't have the menu itself.
How can I locate a submenu nested in my main menu, without relying on MF_BYPOSITION?
My solution to this same problem was to create a helper function to search through the menu and return the position based on the name of the menu.
int CEnviroView::FindMenuItem(CMenu* Menu, LPCTSTR MenuName) {
int count = Menu->GetMenuItemCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
CString str;
if (Menu->GetMenuString(i, str, MF_BYPOSITION) &&
str.Compare(MenuName) == 0)
return i;
}
return -1;
}
It appears the answer is that you can't. Using command IDs to locate a menu command makes great sense because such code will continue to work as you rearrange menu items. However, menu items that are sub menus simply do not have a command ID.
One approach is to have a known menu command, which you can search for by ID, and then insert new items next to that command. However, you still need the containing menu.
The approach I ended up using resulted from studying the code MFC uses to populate the most recently used file list in the File menu. The general technique is described in the somewhat dated Paul DiLascia's Q & A column from Microsoft Systems Journal.
It would be much simpler to use MFC Command routing that allows you to update menu items?
If this is MDI/SDI application you have it for free if not you will have to implement update mechanism.
Do not handle WM_INITMENU. You should handle WM_INITMENUPOPUP. WM_INITMENUPOPUP delivers pointer to the menu that is just about to popup.
In the handler you can write a code that will allow dialog updating specific menu items using UI update mechanism fo all menus, or you can handle only a change to the specific menu item you have to alter in the handler.
You can use the method GetSubMenu from the class CMenu.

I am not able to create a new menu in my mdi form.As already so many existing menus are there.
Its giving error "reached limit cannot create any more controls for this form".
Please help me to know that how to add new menu with this error.
You can use control arrays for your menus to overcome 256 controls per form limit. In Menu Editor you have to set Index property to an unique integer value to create control arrays of entries with same Names.
A common strategy is to designate mnuMain name for a control array with top menus i.e. first mnuMain(1) would be "File", then mnuMain(2) would be "Edit", etc.
Then in form's code declare an enum like this
Private Enum MenuIndexesEnum
idxFile = 1
idxEdit
idxTool
....
End Enum
and use it throughout code like mnuMain(idxFile) etc.
For "File" sub-menu designate mnuFile control array with unique indexes starting from 1 for "New", "Open", "Print", etc. "Exit" and extend the MenuIndexesEnum enum like this
Private Enum MenuIndexesEnum
idxFile = 1
idxEdit
idxTool
....
idxNew = 1
idxOpen
idxPrint
idxExit = 99
...
End Enum
Then continue with mnuEdit for "Edit" sub-menu, etc.
As #wqw said, the problem is that you've reached the 256 controls-per-form limit, and the solution is to start wrapping them up into control arrays. However, the control you're having an issue with (a menu) isn't necessarily the one you need to make into a control array.
I find that the most insidious, yet easiest to solve, control "consumers" are the label controls sprinkled everywhere on a typical form. To turn those into a control array, I just adopted the practice of copying and pasting an existing label anytime I need a new one; the first time, VB will ask if you want to create a control array (say "Yes"), and thereafter it will automatically increment the index for you every time you create a new copy of the label.
For me, label controls are the most convenient to make into an array, because there's usually no code associated with them, and hence no need to worry about the index at all.
I am writing automated tests for a website. On the website there is a button that will have the inner text "All Open" + four random digits. For example: "All Open2957". Is there a way to find the button using only the "All Open" part of the string?
This does not work since the string is missing the four last digits:
HtmlSpan uIAllOpenPane = new HtmlSpan();
uIAllOpenPane.SearchProperties[HtmlDiv.PropertyNames.InnerText] = "All Open";
The simple answer is to use the PropertyExpressionOperator.Contains rather than PropertyExpressionOperator.EqualTo comparator and search for just the required text.
For recorded tests, find the control in the UI Map editor and view its properties panel. Click the "Search properties" field and then click the ellipsis. The window that appears allows the comparator and the required text to be altered.
For hand coded tests use code of the form:
uIAllOpenPane.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlDiv.PropertyNames.InnerText,
"All Open",
PropertyExpressionOperator.Contains);
According to this Microsoft blog the array index style (ie with [ and ]) as used in the question internally calls the SearchProperties.Add(...) but that style has no variation to specify ...Contains, so call the ...Add(...) explicitly.
Check this out
Button allOpenButton = (Button)BrowserWindow.ExecuteScript("allOpenButton = function(){var found; $('input[type=\"button\"]').each(function(){ if($(this).val().indexOf('All Open') > -1){ found = $(this);};}); return found;}; return allOpenButton();");
When trying to locate the controller I only got the FailedToPerformActionOnHiddenC‌​ontrolException. Eventually I was able to locate the DIV container that contained the controller I was trying to locate instead of focusing on finding the controller directly. After finding the container I could locate the controller using
HtmlSpan uIAllOpenPane = new HtmlSpan(container);
uIAllOpenPane.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlDiv.PropertyNames.InnerText, "All Open",
PropertyExpressionOperator.Contains);
The code from #AdrianHHH helped with the problem when part of the string is randomized each time you encounter the controller.
I need to verify if a right click menu/Context menu appears on clicking a specific element in my WPF application.
At present, my script fails when i use the entire reference of the Context menu after the right-click. Is Find Child a good option?
I am using TC9 and jscript.
Thanks in advance!
Yes, you can use the FindChild method to make sure that an object exists and visible. For example:
function Test1()
{
var orders = Sys.Process("Orders");
var listView = orders.WPFObject("HwndSource: MainForm").WPFObject("MainForm").WPFObject("gridMain").WPFObject("OrdersView");
listView.ClickR(106, 82);
var menu = orders.FindChild(["NativeClrObject.Name", "VisibleOnScreen"], ["ViewContextMenu", true], 10);
if (menu.Exists)
Log.Message("The menu is displayed");
else
Log.Error("The menu is not displayed");
}
A tricky thing here can be getting the properties of the context menu object since it can be not listed in the Object Browser while the menu is not displayed. To overcome this, use the Object Spy tool with the Point to the object and fix feature.
I'm using TestComplete for the automation of QA process.
TestComplete detects click events based on the postion of the mouse on the screen. But when I run the same test on a different machine (a larger/smaller screen) the mouse button won't click on the correct position.
Therefore I want to know is there a method which I can search a control based on its name (i.e. name of a button) and then run a script to click on that particular word (or position).
Any help is appreciated :)
Additional Details
This is a sample script generated by TestComplete for clicking the search button on a web page.
Sub Test6()
'Opens the specified URL in a running instance of the specified browser.
Call Browsers.Item(btIExplorer).Navigate("http://www.simplyrecipes.com/search/?cx=003084314295129404805%3Ai2-mkfc4cai&cof=FORID%3A11&q=&sa.x=48&sa.y=16")
'Clicks at point (173, 10) of the 'textboxQ' object.
Call Aliases.browser.pageHttpWwwSimplyrecipesComSearc.panelPage.headerMasthead.group.panelSiteSearch.formSearchbox0030843142951294048.textboxQ.Click(173, 10)
'Sets the text 'asd' in the 'textboxQ' text editor.
Call Aliases.browser.pageHttpWwwSimplyrecipesComSearc.panelPage.headerMasthead.group.panelSiteSearch.formSearchbox0030843142951294048.textboxQ.SetText("asd")
'Clicks at point (57, 12) of the 'imagebuttonSa' object.
Call Aliases.browser.pageHttpWwwSimplyrecipesComSearc.panelPage.headerMasthead.group.panelSiteSearch.formSearchbox0030843142951294048.imagebuttonSa.Click(57, 12)
End Sub
Here is the button click event captured in the RecordTest window
What I want to know is, is there a way I can specify the control name (i.e 'Search' or 'imagebuttonSa'), so the TestComplete will search for the name in the given GUI and then once it's found, make a click event on the word.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit OS, TestComplete 9 trial version and VBScript as the scripting language.
As far as I can see, TestComplete already works in your case with specific controls/objects: textboxQ and imagebuttonSa. These two names are given to objects by the Name Mapping functionality and you are free to change them as you like.
As for the coordinates, these coordinates are related to the top left corner of the corresponding control (textboxQ or imagebuttonSa). If you want, you can remove the coordinates from the action parameters (e.g. ...imagebuttonSa.Click()) and TestComplete will click the central point of the control.
In case you have any problems with playing back your tests and you cannot find out what the cause of these problems is, the best option for you will be contacting the SmartBear support team with detailed explanation of what happens. Send them your project with failed results logs.
Whenever I have a problem with not finding an object with TC I use one of this functions or a combination of them.
In case you have the table object (parent of the cell you want to click):
function clickCellByText(text,tablePath)
{
var table = tablePath;
if (!table.Exists)
{
Log.Error("A table with the following text cannot be found: " + table);
}
clickCell1(table, "*Cell*", "*Cell*");
function clickCell1(table, idText, linkText)
{
var propArray = new Array("innerText", "ObjectType");
var valArray = new Array(text,"Cell*");
var idCell = table.FindChild(propArray, valArray, 20000);
if (idCell.Exists)
{
// Row found, find the link in the same row
idCell.Click();
}
else
{
Log.Error("A cell with the following text cannot be found: " + text);
}
}
}
If you want to find the object or the parent of the object by any property:
function clickComponent(property,text)
{
// Using the Find method
var myObj = Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("*").NativeWebObject.Find(property,text);
// Checks if the button exists
if (myObj.Exists)
{
myObj.Click();
}
else
Log.Error("Can't find the object","");
}
If you don't specify co-ordinate, it will click at the center of the object.
You can try doing FindChild or Find with the Object Name Mapping where the button resides, with Properties like (Eg:ObjectType as Button and Button Caption with your required button caption), once the FindChild finds the button with above specified properties you can use that object to click on it:
var button = ParentObj.FindChild(["ObjectType","Caption"],["Button","OK"],10);
if(button.Exists)
button.Click()
I think I need to bind data programmatically to solve my problem.
I use a TabHost which hosts 2 Tabs.
I need to load the MvxBindableListView in the second tab when TabHost appears and keep the first tab as default tab.
What I'm doing is starting the second tab activity without problem because I check the process using this code:
protected override void OnViewModelSet()
{
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Page_ActivityView);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("activityView started");
MvxBindableListView mvxBindableListView = FindViewById<MvxBindableListView>(Resource.Id.mvxBindableListView);
mvxBindableListView.ChildViewAdded += new System.EventHandler<Android.Views.ViewGroup.ChildViewAddedEventArgs>(mvxBindableListView_ChildViewAdded);
}
"activityView started" is displayed in output debugger, but MvxBindableListView.ChildViewAdded event isn't raised, only when I click the second tab.
So I suppose that MvxBindableListView is not databound.
Thanks in advance to help me loading my second tab programmatically.
I think ChildViewAdded is an event that occurs when the ListView is rendered - at that time when it needs to 'draw list items', then it will ask its adapter for child Views for the screen. As you scroll down the list, it will then ask for more child views - but it will also reuse views - so for a simple list you should only ever (hopefully) get N+1 calls on ChildViewAdded for a list which shows N items at one time.
So it's perfectly possible for a list to be databound but never to call ChildViewAdded - that won't get called until the list is 'drawn'
Sadly the Xamarin docs aren't helpful here - http://docs.mono-android.net/monodoc.ashx?link=E%3AAndroid.Views.ViewGroup.ChildViewAdded
Note: if you do actually want to bind programatically, then you can do this to - using Bind() methods and extension methods. However, I haven't expanded on that here - as it doesn't sound like that's actually what you need!
