Valid contexts

Notes
control argument:
- The control argument does not apply in the case of an AUT with a user interface based on the Windows API; in such cases, the argument should be omitted.
- For other platforms, the menu control of interest should be captured as an interface element and passed to this action through the control argument.
item argument:
- Menu items are identified by their caption properties.
- If a menu path of more than one item must be specified, use arrow symbols ( -> ) as delimiters between menu items. For example,
Vehicles->Cars->Four-door sedans
.
Since submenu items are not available on Android mobile devices, clicking on a subitem is not supported on Android.
As a general rule for all actions involving x,y coordinate arguments, the coordinates are specified in pixels relative to the top-left corner of the:
- control, if the action has window and control arguments, and values are specified for both of them;
- window, if the action has a value specified for a window argument, but has no control value specified (whether or not the control argument exists);
- screen, if neither a window nor control value is specified, whether or not such arguments exist.
注意:As for TestArchitect 8.4 Update 2, the coordinates are determined in pixels relative to the top-left corner of the working document.制限: :This rule should not be taken to imply that any control or window arguments are optional if their associated actions don’t explicitly state that.This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string
<ignore>
is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to<ignore>
, the action is skipped during execution.
