Example of use
Task
Set the focus on the "File" element in notebook and click on the left mouse button.
Solution
Use the "Window focus element" button.
Implementation
- Assemble a robot scheme:
- Set the “Window focus element” action parameters. The element for interaction must be obtained using WinSpy. Operation with WinSpy is described in the Interaction with a win element section. Setting a timeout, in general, does not increase the execution time of the action beyond the time it takes for the element we use in the action to become visible and available. During the set timeout, the action tries to access the element it is working with. As soon as the item is available, the waiting timeout expires.
- Click "Start" in the top panel.
Result
The program robot completed successfully. The focus is set on the specified element.
