click method
Specifies which type of sendInput() message – that is, separate sendinput messages or single sendinput message – takes effect when TestArchitect performs click-related built-in actions on the AUT.
Notes:
Technically, in TestArchitect, when a mouse click is specified by an action or method, the following three events are triggered in sequence:
- MouseMove: Move the mouse pointer to the specified coordinate.
- MouseDown: Press the mouse button.
- MouseUp: Release the mouse button.
separate sendinput messages
MouseMove, MouseDown, and MouseUp events are submitted as three separate sendInput() messages. The delay between MouseDown and MouseUp messages, in this case, is determined by the value of the built-in setting click delay.
single sendinput message
MouseMove, MouseDown, and MouseUp are combined and sent as a single sendInput() message.
Use of this built-in setting is applicable to the following built-in actions:
Action lines
setting value
setting click method separate sendinput messages
 
window control value
enter login user name alex
enter login password ta
 
window control click type
click login login left
 
setting value
setting click method single sendinput message
 
window control click type
click welcome new order left
- Use this built-in setting to avoid problems that can result from unstable network connections, virtual machines, remote desktops, etc. Such issues may cause click-related built-in actions to unexpectedly fail to register with the AUT. Changing the value of this setting to separate sendinput messages is one means of addressing this issue.
- Use of the value separate sendinput messages ensures that a certain delay exists between submissions of the MoveMouse, MouseDown and MouseUp. You can further control the delay between the MouseDown and MouseUp messages by means of the built-in setting click delay
