Set Scrollbar Position Action

Target

Auto-configure

This is the recommended way to configure this property page. When you click on the "Click Here..." button, Automise is hidden and Find Control dialog is displayed.

While you search, Automise will place a red highlight rectangle around the control which is currently under the mouse pointer.

Navigate to a point over the control that you want to choose for the action, and Control-Click to select it. All of the other fields on the property page will be populated with a description of the control. In most cases, this is all you need to create a reproducible description of the target control.

However, you can fine tune the selection by editing each field on the property page. This is described in the Manual Configuration topic.

Target process

The name of the process that will be searched for to perform the mouse click on.

Number

The occurrence of the process that the mouse click will be performed. This is important as their may be multiple copies of the same application running at the same time.

Target control

Window by class and/or caption

Instructs the action that the windows class and caption options should be used in determining which control to select when performing the click.

Window class

The name of the windows class that the control is an instance of. Note that wildcards are allowed to help to enable a boarder selection of controls.

Caption

The display text shown on the control. Again wildcards work within this option value.

Control from description

Instructs the action to use the description when determining which control to click. The description entered will be matched to the display text of the controls in the selected process.

Scroll Position

Set scroll position

Scroll to bottom/right

Select this option to scroll a vertical scrollbar to the very bottom, or a horizontal scrollbar to the very right.

Scroll to top/left

Select this option to scroll a vertical scrollbar to the very top, or a horizontal scrollbar to the very left.

Scroll to position

Select this option to set the scroll position to an explicit value. Different scroll bars can have different value ranges, so it's not recommended that you use this option unless you know a lot about the scroll bar in question. For some scroll bars, certain values may be inaccessible, so the action will set the bar as close as it can.

Scroll to percentage

Select this option to set the scrollbar to a certain percentage of its available range. 0% is the topmost (or leftmost) position of the bar, and 100% is the bottommost (or rightmost) position.

This action cannot move a disabled or invisible scroll bar.
