need to double click HTML table cell (fireevent?)

[bobkuhn]

The original posting is confusing, asked multiple questions and hasn't generated any ideas/suggestions so ....

Let's ask my question a different way.

I'm trying to automate IE and have run into a MAJOR snag. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated

I need to double click a cell in an HTML table.

I'm pretty sure I have the correct cell since the following always reports the expected data.

 temp = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).outerText

One of the methods I've run across is to use the FIREEVENT method. Despite returning TRUE I haven't seen any change to the IE window when I tried the following code. A single click will highlight the cell and a double click will open a drop down menu.

         temp1 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("o n m o u s e o v e r")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp2 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("onmousedown")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp3 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("onmouseup")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp4 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("o n c l i c k")  ' returns true but nothing happens – must have *********** or will return false
         temp5 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("onmouseup")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp6 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("ondblclick")  ' returns false

         temp1 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("o n m o u s e o v e r")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp2 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("onmousedown")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp3 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("onmouseup")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp4 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("o n c l i c k")  ' returns true but nothing happens – must have *********** or will return false
         temp5 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("o n c l i c k")  ' returns true but nothing happens


         temp1 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("o n m o u s e o v e r")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp6 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("ondblclick")  ' returns false


         temp1 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("o n m o u s e o v e r")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp2 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("onmousedown")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp3 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("onmouseup")    ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp4 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("onmousedown")  ' returns true but nothing happens
         temp5 = oWin.document.all.tags("Table").Item(4).Rows(1).Cells(4).FireEvent("onmouseup")    ' returns true but nothing happens

The HTML code for the table events is (I've re-arranged it for easier reading":

       o n m o u s e o v e r="return Grids[0].GridMouseOver(event)"
     onmousedown="return Grids[0].GridMouseDown(event)"
     onmouseup="return Grids[0].GridMouseUp(event)"
     onmousemove="return Grids[0].GridMouseMove(event)"
     o n c l i c k="return Grids[0].GridClick(event)"
     ondblclick="return Grids[0].GridDblClick(event)"
     onselectstart="return Grids[0].GridSelectStart(event)"
     oncontextmenu="return Grids[0].GridRightClick(event)" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0">

PS – If you want to see more of the HTML then I need help:
1) how to get around the "***" issue when posting (other than adding spaces to thetext that was stepped on)
2) how to capture the HTML in an easy to read format<table class="GMMainTable" id="RPT_WIZARD_TABLE_GRID"
</table>

Try .Focus on the element, followed by .FireEvent "onmousedown" and .FireEvent "ondblclick".

Hi, I'm facing the same issue now, is your issue resolved?

 

[yvonne_yuan]

I tried your code, but it does not work, and i found the .fireevent "ondblclick" return false, do you know why?

Try .Focus on the element, followed by .FireEvent "onmousedown" and .FireEvent "ondblclick".
