I have a web page with two almost identical grids on the page. The grids are made up of tables that look something like
Grid 1
<Table> x-grid-row
<TBody>
<TR>
<td> x-grid3-Risk
<td>x-grid3-Name

Grid2
<Table> x-grid-row
<Tbody>
<tr>
<td>x-grid3-Reward
<td>x-grid3-Name

I've had succes getting to the information in the name column by using the following commands

Dim

my_Frame As ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Browser = ActiveBrowser.Frames.BySrc("~Lending/Admin/RiskModel.mvc/index")

Dim

myRows as Element = my_Frame.Find.AllByAttributes("class=~x-grid3-Reward")

Dim myElement = myRows(i).getNextSibiling

What I haven't been able to get to work out is how to use code to use "Click" with one of the x-grid3-name cells. Is there a way to convert the Element to an HTML control? Every method I have tried just causes a compile error - so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello S,

You can click on the element with your current code like this:

Dim my_Frame As ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Browser = ActiveBrowser.Frames.BySrc("~Lending/Admin/RiskModel.mvc/index")

Dim myRows As Element = my_Frame.Find.AllByAttributes("class=~x-grid3-Reward"

)

Dim myElement = myRows(i).getNextSibiling

ActiveBrowser.Actions.Click(myElement)

Yes, you can convert the element to an HTML control like this:

'Insert appropriate find logic here

Dim elem As Element = Nothing

Dim cell2 As HtmlControl = elem.[As](Of HtmlControl)()

cell2.Click()

It's best to access and click the HTML control and not the base element, like this:

'Insert appropriate find logic here

Dim my_Frame As Browser = Nothing

Dim myRows As ReadOnlyCollection(Of HtmlTableCell) = my_Frame.Find.AllByAttributes(Of HtmlTableCell)("class=~x-grid3-Reward")

Dim myCell As HtmlTableCell = myRows(2)

'DOM click

myCell.Click()

'Simulate real mouse click

myCell.MouseClick()

All the best,
