SWEA creates HtmlAnchor control for <A> tag. It is possible that the link is not <A> tag. You can use SWEA DOM navigator to inspect the DOM tree. If "Preview Control Selection" is checked SWEA editor will not create a control automatically. Instead the DOM tree will be navigated to the selected HTML element.> Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 08:06:46 -0700> Subject: Web page text> From: klinena...@gmail.com> To: swexplorerautomation@googlegroups.com> > > There is text on a webpage that when clicked is a link but it cant be> added as an Anchor with SWexplorer.

It explains why HtmlContent control was created. For the control you can record Invoke actions (Click, MouseClick) by using SWDesigner Invoke tab.

Have you tried to automate any other page with frames? Is it possible to reproduce the problem?

Have you tried to use SWEA DOM navigator to create control? Do you see the frame in the DOM navigator?

Im not sure that the problem is with the fact that it has frames i guess SWEA cant find the HTML for the text that i need._________________________________________________________________

Ive replicated the problem and i think the problem is that SWexplorer cant activate the scene. I was able to grab text as an htmlcontent then when i searched another patient it wouldnt let me select text anymore. It worked about 3 times then wouldnt work after that
Have you tried to log the identification messages from explorerManager error handler? If a scene was not activated SWEA will fire the Error event handler. The identification messages can help to troubleshoot the problem.

I seem to have another problem I forgot that this certain page has links that end in numbers that arent consistent. This one is called ms_id78 and then i clicked it again and it became ms_id94. In another program i was using i just added an asterisk after id and it would work
You have to update the Scene descriptor. It contains UrlPattern which is a regular expression. For example:
http://by19fd\.bay19\.hotmail\.msn\.com/cgi-bin/HoTMaiL\?curmbox=(.*) &a=(.*)&fti=yes

Scenes allow automation program to be tolerant to UI changes. UI changes very often. Without scenes every change to UI will lead to code change. With scenes in most cases only control binding should be changed.

Your software is faster and cheaper then the software we were using. I do web automation all day on healthcare websites. I just want to make sure that i will be able to find a work around for whatever problems should occur. Things are looking good though, my company should be purchasing the $999 license if all goes well
SWEA is fastest IE automation framework. SWEA provides little overhead to IE (SWEA IE engine is C++ code). We added scenes because we needed automation to be predictable. You can’t simply click a button. You should be sure that the button is on a right page. The Web application can redirect to wrong page and a click on a button can lead to unpredictable errors. SWEA provides API (scenes and controls) to a Web application and takes care about the control binding. The scene binding is controled by SceneDescriptor. The control binding is controled by ControlDescriptor. The control can be bound by Html Id, Html Name and XPath. By default SWEA generates absolute XPATH expression. If a control position "floats" on a page it is possible to use "relative" XPATH expressions.
For example://A[contains(text(), 'some link text')] will bind HtmlAnchor to <A>some link text</A> tag.

Scene may not be activated if it failed to activate (ExplorerManager error event is fired) or IE doesn't fire the "complete" events.

To monitor the actual scene activation you can subsribe to explorerManager.SceneActivated/SceneDeactivated events
