Setting Form Focus with AA

[portudork]

Hello,

Is there a way to have Automation Anywhere set the focus on a form to a particular windows control regardless of where it currently is on the form. I know I can get text etc from any windows control but is there a method for moving the cursor (setting focus) to a particular control without using a mouse click/move command. I would like to keep everything AA or keyboard based.

Thanks,

Jason

Hello,

You can use [Tab] keystroke(s) to put the cursor on required control. If you could send us screenshot of form you are talking about then we would be able to help you accordingly.

Maybe what I am trying to accomplish would make more sense if I explain what I am trying to do.

I am trying to use AA to perform a tab order verification test for a Window's based application. Each form has specific data in each field and as the AA task tabs through the form it checks each fields data against what should be there if the tab order is correct. In the case it is incorrect it makes a note in the log.

The problem is, if the field it tabbed to is incorrect how can I force the cursor to go to the field it should have tabbed to?

Example:

Form should tab from fields A, to B, to C, to D.

Form tabs correctly from A to B, but then lands from B on to D instead of C. I log this as a defect, but I need the focus to be on field C so I can continue testing if C tabs to D. Is there anyway I can do this without using mouse commands?

Thanks,

Jason

Hello,

Is it possible for you to upload the screenshot of form in PNG format so that we can actually see and suggest a viable solution?
