HTML I Specific control steering

Parameter - DispatchEvents

This parameter can be used to overwrite the setting DispatchEvents in ModuleAttributes. If the value of this setting is True, events in Microsoft® Windows Internet Explorer versions 9 or later are triggered with the DispatchEvent API. If the value is set to False, events in these Microsoft® Windows Internet Explorer versions are triggered with the FireEvent API.

This parameter must be created manually (see chapter "Create Param [Param] (ObjectMap)").

Parameter - DOMClick

From a technical point of view, HTML controls are usually steered generically via the mouse cursor by calculating coordinates or via simulated keyboard inputs. If steering via coordinate calculation is impossible, the DOMClick parameter can be set to True in order to regulate controls via the DOMObject's methods. Globally, this can be defined via the SetDOMClick settings (see setting "SetDOMClick").

With this type of control, events to be triggered have to be explicitly specified (see chapter "Parameter - FireEvents").

If the displayed size of an HTML file has been changed via Internet Explorer's zoom function (> or < 100%), the application can only be steered via DOMObjects. Example DOMClick=True

Parameter - FireEvents

The FireEvents property is only used in the context of control steering via the DOMObject, because a consecutive event has to be explicitly triggered with this steering type (see chapter "Parameter - DOMClick").

The FireEvents parameter is automatically created when a classic Module is scanned and filled with the default value onchange;onblur. If needed, this value can be modified or added either via the EventsToBeFiredAfterInput setting (see setting "EventsToBeFiredAfterInput"), or - in case of some controls - within the Module. Multiple events have to be specified separated by a semicolon.

The on... events listed are triggered by the Input ActionMode.

An HTMLEditbox is being filled, and it displays a message if the content is modified (onchange). This event is explicitly triggered by specifying the value onchange as Fire Events property. Parameter - FireEvents

The table below shows the available FireEvents, which can be used for controls that support these events.

FireEvents

FireEvent	Event
onabort	upon abortion of the test execution
onblur	upon exit
onchange	upon successful modification
onclick	upon clicking
ondblclick	upon double-clicking
onerror	in case of an error
onfocus	upon enabling
onkeydown	upon pressed key
onkeypress	upon keeping key pressed
onkeyup	upon released key
onload	upon loading of files
onmousedown	upon pressed mouse button
onmousemove	upon further mouse movements
onmouseout	upon exiting the element with the mouse
onmouseover	upon moving the mouse over the element
onmouseup	upon released mouse button
onreset	upon reset of the form
onselect	upon selection of the form
onsubmit	upon submitting the form
onunload	upon exiting the file

Parameter - UseWaitForStatusLabel

The ObjectControl parameter UseWaitForStatusLabel enables the settings of the Wait for statuslabel category. This parameter has to be created manually (see chapter "Create Param [Param] (ObjectMap)"). If one of the following values is set here, the global setting Use wait for statuslabel will be overwritten in the Settings dialog (see setting "Wait for statuslabel").

• UseWaitForStatusLabel=true

  Wait for statuslabel is enabled for this Module.

• UseWaitForStatusLabel=false

  Wait for statuslabel is disabled for this Module.
