Description

Use the Click action to simulate click of the left mouse button over the object.

Declaration

TestObj.Click(ClientX, ClientY, Shift)

TestObj	A variable, parameter or expression that specifies a reference to one of the objects listed in the Applies To section
ClientX	[in]	Optional	Integer	Default value: -1
ClientY	[in]	Optional	Integer	Default value: -1
Shift	[in]	Optional	TShiftKey	Default value: skNoShift
Result	None

Applies To

All onscreen objects.

View Mode

This method is available in the Object Browser panel and in other panels and dialogs in both Basic and Advanced view modes.

Parameters

The method has the following parameters:

ClientX

Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the point of the click. This coordinate is relative to the object, it is not a screen coordinate. If ClientX is omitted, the click will be simulated in the center of the object.

ClientY

Specifies the vertical coordinate of the point of the click. This coordinate is relative to the object, it is not a screen coordinate. If ClientX and ClientY parameters are omitted, the click will be simulated in the center of the object.

Shift

Sets whether the Shift, Alt or Ctrl keys are pressed during the click events (see TShiftKey). By default, this parameter is skNoShift (no shift keys are pressed). Sometimes the Shift parameter may not be enough, and you may need to simulate key presses in script code. See Simulating Keystrokes.

Result Value

None.

Remarks

Desktop testing: If TestObj refers to an object of a non-DPI-aware application running with a DPI setting other than 100%, set the ClientX and ClientY parameter values relative to the application (as if the application is running with the 100% DPI setting).
Web testing: If the Use CSS pixels for scaled pages option is enabled (by default), set the ClientX and ClientY parameter values relative to the web page, regardless of the browser zoom and the system's DPI setting.
