Global Send Keys - Page Down not working

[RoshiniSyed]

Hello,

I am working in an application, where there is a scroll down present in the page. I need to send pagedown Keystrokes to navigate the page down to capture the rest of the elements,

Tried by sending both  "{DOWN}" and "{PGDN}" - GSK ,but doesn't worked as expected.

Any Suggestions on this?

Hi Roshini,

I think you are referring to wrong key name for Page Down, it should be {PageDown} instead of {PGDN}. Can you check with this once?

Also, I would like to suggest you check the following steps to execute global send keys:

1) Always first activate the application window using a 'Win32' element as the first action by using 'Activate' function.

2) Then use 'Global Click On Center' function on the 'UIA', 'AA' or 'Browser' element that you want to click on before providing page down button.

3) Then use 'Global Send Key Events' function on the 'Application Root' node where you need to use the {PageDown} command.

Hi @Roshini Syed

According to this official guide -> Send Keys and Send Key Events

The correct syntax for this key is {PGDN} 

This document recomends you to activate the application, and send a global click before perfome any key stroke. 

(Figure from the document)



Hope this helps you!

See you in the Community, bye 🙂

Hi Roshini,

Could you be more specific on which application you are facing the issue? 

I have faced similar problem with KOFAX where no luck with keystrokes and found way to achieve scroll down  by spying the scroll down icon in application modeller. It might not be the best solution but it served the purpose.

Hi Sahana,

Its Brower based Application and we are using chrome. Can you please throw some light on how to spy on scroll down icon, because none of the spying modes are capturing the scroll element?

Hi Roshini,

You can try to induce a click on that inner container window:



If you do not find it, I would suggest click on any element which would act as a label or something that wont trigger any event basically and then try this option out.

Hello,

Region mode is the only way to do that but it will not be consistent if the page is zoomed. 
If you want to scroll down to read the contents, have you tried reading it as table? 
or 
Do you have any buttons at the end of the page that you can spy and focus to bring the page down?

Hi Devneet,

I captured the inner td element and induced click on it and then send keystrokes "{DOWN}" to scroll down, but sending Keystrokes doesn't worked as expected.

Any Suggestions on this.
