I apologize for my English is a Google translation.
This is a question that I have had a hard time with for a long time and in all the places that have been talked about it remains unanswered, so I am publishing my solution for the benefit of all.
Sometimes you are required to refresh the source of the form (in continuous form) and then you use let's say a bookmark to return to the record you were before the refresh, the problem is that if we say the form now shows you records 40-60 and you stand on record 45, when you return to 45 after refresh it is not The fifth will be displayed on the screen but it will be the first, which may cause confusion for the user, I have always looked for a way to return the same record that will be the fifth on the screen and the user will not see any change.
I found that it is possible to use the "CurrentSectionTop" property, it means where you are located in relation to the top edge of the form, you need to lower the height of the header from it.
Below is the code:
Const MaxRecordInViwe = 50
Const ValuePerLine = 564
MySelTop = Me.SelTop
CurrentRowInViwe = (Me.CurrentSectionTop - Me.FormHeader.Height) / ValuePerLine
Me.Requery
Me.SelTop = (MySelTop - MyCurrentRowInViwe) + MaxRecordInViwe
Me.SelTop = MySelTop - MyCurrentRowInViwe
Me.SelTop = MySelTop
If your screen has more than 50 entries, you will change the default "MaxRecordInViwe", if you enter less you can leave it unchanged.
The constant "ValuePerLine" fits my form, I did not find a formula to calculate it but you can find it manually:
Go to the first record
In the Immediate window, type the following code:
?Form_table1.CurrentSectionTop - Form_Table1.FormHeader.Height
In the form, go to the second entry
In the Immediate window, type the following code:
?(Form_table1.CurrentSectionTop- Form_Table1.FormHeader.Height)- {The previous result})
Enter the result to set "ValuePerLine"
I don't find the answer on the internet.
When I open some orders in a transaction, I have sometimes a popup. I want to execute some code if this popup text is 'Consider the subsequent documents'. If it is another text, I will execute some other code.
Problem is, we use SAP in several languages (EN, DE, FR), so I can't just say "if text = 'Consider the subsequent documents'. I know each message has its own ID in SAP. I know how to find this ID manually (see screenshot below), but I can't access it with findById(), even using the Record and Playback tool, because it uses the Performance Assistant window, which is not a children of the SAP session (it's a separate application, see second screenshot).
How could I do?
If session.ActiveWindow.Name = "wnd[1]" Then 'There is a popup
'Find message number (haven't find better way)
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[1]").press 'Press "Info"
'Line missing here to click the button in Performance Assistant Window. Record & Playback tool does not catch it.
If session.findById("wnd[2]/usr/txtHELP_INFO-MESSAGENR").Text = "081" Then
'Some code
End If
'close popups
session.findById("wnd[2]").sendVKey 0
session.findById("wnd[1]").sendVKey 0
End If
I found out that it is possible to display the Help in a Modal window (=Popup) rather than in a separate window Performance Assistant. Then it is possible with findById() functions to get the message number Popup raises > F1 > F9 > findByID(...).Text
To set the Help in a Modal window, the user must first (manually or programmatically) check a setting:
I have an application written in VB.Net where I call a dialog window that lets a user select a file or folder to copy. In that window I have text pre-populated in the file name field as an informational type of message to the user. However the text is so long that it only shows the last bit of it, so I need a way to reset the cursor position to the first character in the string. I also have the text highlighted by default so that the user can just begin typing to overwrite it. Here's what I have so far-
pushLocationBox1.SelectAll()
cursorPosition = pushLocationBox1.SelectionStart
I think the "cursorPosition = pushLocationBox1.SelectionStart" is a good start at getting the location I need to point the cursor to, but I'm not sure where to go from there.
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to send html email from Cocoa app, through Mail.app. I want to open new message in Mail.app, include subject, recipient and add HTML Body with links and other content. But can't find the way to do this.
I already tried Scripting Bridge, but MailOutgoingMessage class doesn't have content type i can add content in plaintext.
tried AppleScript, something like this:
set htmlContent to read "/Path/index.html"
set recipientList to {"mail#mail.com"}
tell application "Mail"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"qwerty", visible:true}
tell newMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:"mail#s.com"}
set html content to htmlContent
--send
end tell
end tell
this code send email with html, only if I'm changing --send to send. But i need to send letter later, after user made some changes.
To recap the problem: Using AppleScript to create a message with HTML content for interactive editing does not work (as of OS X 10.9.2): the new-message form comes up with an empty body.
This should be considered a bug and I encourage everyone to let Apple know at http://bugreport.apple.com - caveat: the html content message class property is not defined in Mail.sdef, Mail.app's AppleScript dictionary, so assigning HTML may not be officially supported.
There is a workaround, but it ain't pretty:
Create the message invisibly.
Save it as a draft.
Open the draft message, at which point the HTML content will appear.
Implementing this robustly is challenging, because several workarounds are required. The following code tries its hardest, though:
Note: Since the code uses GUI scripting, Access for Assistive Devices must be enabled (via System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility) for the application running this code (e.g., AppleScript Editor or, if run via osascript, Terminal.app).
# Example values; use `read someFile` to read HTML from a file.
set htmlContent to "<html><body><h1>Hello,</h1><p>world.</p></body></html>"
set recipientList to {"person1#example.com", "person2#example.com"}
set msgSubject to "qwerty"
tell application "Mail"
# Create the message *invisibly*, and assign subject text
# as well as the HTML content.
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties ¬
{visible:false, subject:msgSubject, html content:htmlContent}
# Add recipients.
# !! Given the workaround below, this is currently pointless.
tell newMessage
repeat with toRcpt in recipientList
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:toRcpt}
end repeat
end tell
# Save the current number of drafts messages.
set draftCountBefore to count messages of drafts mailbox
# !! Save the new message as a *draft* - this is necessary
# for the HTML content to actually appear in the message
# body when we open the message interactively later.
save newMessage
# !! Sadly, it takes a little while for the new message
# !! to appear in the drafts mailbox, so we must WAIT.
set newMessageAsDraft to missing value
repeat with i from 1 to 30 # give up after n * 0.1 secs.
set draftCountNow to (count messages of drafts mailbox)
if draftCountNow > draftCountBefore then
set newMessageAsDraft to message 1 of drafts mailbox
exit repeat
end if
delay 0.1 # sleep a little
end repeat
# Abort, if the draft never appeared.
if newMessageAsDraft is missing value then error "New message failed to appear in the drafts mailbox within the timeout period."
# Open the new message as a *draft* message - this ensures that
# the HTML content is displayed and editable in the message body.
# !! The ONLY solution I found is to use `redirect`, which, unfortunately,
# !! *wipes out the recipients*.
# !! It does, however, ensure that the draft is deleted once the message is sent.
redirect newMessageAsDraft with opening window
# Activate Mail.app and thus the draft message's window.
activate
# !! Since the recipients have been wiped out, we need to
# !! add them again - unfortunately, the only way we can do that is to
# !! *GUI scripting* - simulating invocation of a menu command or
# !! sending keystrokes.
tell application "System Events"
# We must make sure that the target window is active before
# we can perform GUI scripting on it.
set newMessageWindow to missing value
repeat with i from 1 to 30 # give up after n * 0.1 secs.
tell (first window of (first process whose frontmost is true) whose subrole is not "AXFloatingWindow")
if name is msgSubject then
set newMessageWindow to it
exit repeat
end if
end tell
delay 0.1 # sleep a little
end repeat
if newMessageWindow is missing value then error "New message failed to become the active window within the timeout period."
# Turn the list of recipients into comma-delimited *string* for pasting into the To field.
set {orgTIDs, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, {","}}
set recipientListString to (recipientList as text)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to orgTIDs
# Save the current clipboard content.
set prevClipboardContents to the clipboard
# Cursor is in the "To:" field, so use GUI scripting to send the Edit > Paste command now.
# NOTE: Access for assistive devices must be enabled via System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility.
set the clipboard to recipientListString
my pasteFromClipboard("")
# Restore the previous clipboard content.
# !! We mustn't do this instantly, as our temporary content may not have
# !! finished pasting yet. It would be non-trivial to determine
# !! when pasting has finished (examining `count of to recipients` doesn't work),
# !! so we take our chances with a fixed, small delay.
delay 0.1
set the clipboard to prevClipboardContents
# Place the cursor in the message *body*.
# !! This works as of Mail.app on OS X 10.9.2, but may break in the future.

(*
Pastes form the clipboard into the active window of the specified application (process) using GUI scripting
rather than keyboard shortcuts so as to avoid conflicts with keyboard shortcuts used to invoke this handler.
Specify "" or `missing value` to paste into the currently active (frontmost) application.
The target process may be specified by either name or as a process object.
CAVEAT: While this subroutine IS portable across *UI languages*, it does make an assumption that will hopefully hold for
all applications: that the "Edit" menu is the *4th* menu from the left (Apple menu, app menu, File, Edit).
Examples:
my pasteFromClipboard("") # paste into frontmost app
my pasteFromClipboard("TextEdit")
*)
on pasteFromClipboard(targetProcess)
tell application "System Events"
if targetProcess is missing value or targetProcess = "" then
set targetProcess to first process whose frontmost is true
else
if class of targetProcess is text then
set targetProcess to process targetProcess
end if
-- Activate the application (make it frontmost), otherwise pasting will not work.
set frontmost of targetProcess to true
end if
tell menu 1 of menu bar item 4 of menu bar 1 of targetProcess
-- Find the menu item whose keyboard shortcut is Cmd-V
set miPaste to first menu item whose value of attribute "AXMenuItemCmdChar" is "V" and value of attribute "AXMenuItemCmdModifiers" is 0
click miPaste
end tell
end tell

It isn't clear what your are looking for, but I'll do my best to offer some help.
If you leave send commented, then the message should already be open in Mail.app, waiting for further editing and sending.
By adding the line save newMessage, it will be saved to the drafts folder. The user can open it and continue editing whenever they please. If you want to actually send the draft from your application, use:
set sendMessage to first message of drafts mailbox
send sendMessage
Good luck!
I didn't see that you needed to edit the message before sending, so my previous answer was wrong. This time it should be correct.
It basically
takes a preformatted RTF file,
renders it & puts it into the clipboard,
creates a new message,
fills in the fields,
moves the focus to the message body,
pastes the formatted clipboard
Here is the code:
set textSubject to "HTML Test"
set toAddress to "john.doe#gmail.com"
set toName to "John Doe"
tell application "Mail"
do shell script "cat ~/Documents/RTF\\ File.rtf | textutil -stdin -stdout -convert rtf | pbcopy"
set refMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {name:toName, address:toAddress, subject:textSubject, visible:true}
tell refMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:toName, address:toAddress}
end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Mail"
set frontmost to true
set value of attribute "AXFocused" of scroll area 4 of window textSubject to true
end tell
keystroke "v" using {command down}
end tell
Again, this worked fine on Snow Leopard
Hope that helped.
I had this working fine a couple of months ago but now when I run the test it fails and I don't know why or how to fix.
Background:
I have a screen with several links so that the 'admin' user who is currently logged in can login as one of the 'practitioners' via the login hyperlink presented.
Details:
So for my test I click on the 'Login link' hyperlink(s), enter & confirm a new password as required, and then I get to the practitioners screen 'as them'. The 'wrinkle' was that the pop-up for the user to enter their (new) password happened on a new window that the selenium IDE used was a new window. So basically just clicking on the hyperlink didn't work. To get around this I was able to store the hyperlink's href -a#href- in a selenium variable first_login_link_to and then use open instead of clickAndWait to visit the page, i.e. open ${first_login_link_to}
This was working fine a few months ago.... but it is not working now.
I get page doesn't exist and when I look at the url - urgh! It somehow includes the locator stuff and I am getting
http://dmplanning-stage.herokuapp.com//tr[td[contains(.,'6 Day')]][1]/td[8]/a#href
instead of
http://dmplanning-stage.herokuapp.com/p/zaH7m3aL7fxuPLvrc21L
in the browsers url address bar.
How can I get selenium to open the url stored in the variable and not use that 'locator' address?
selenium:
open /admin
clickAndWait link=practitioners
store //tr[td[contains(.,'6 Day')]][1]/td[8]/a#href
open ${first_login_link_to}
Found it - whew! Somehow my storeAttribute got changed to plain store.
Once I changed it back everything worked again!
This one worked for me
1-
Command = Store
Target = stuff you want to paste
Value = Var
2-
Command = sendkeys
Target = id for area where u wana paste
Value = ${Var}
3-
Command = Fireevent
Target = id for area where u wanna paste
Value = paste
