WatiN - How to simulate contextmenu or right click using o2 watin IE 11?

[rahoolm]

Hi Dinis,

As per your reply to my comment on your blog, I am just reminding you about the issue I am facing with WatiN and IE 11.

http://blog.diniscruz.com/2014/08/watin-in-o2platformfluentsharp-projects.html

I am trying to perform Right Click or trigger contexmenu or say simulate right in my WatiN script.

I nowhere found a good and working example. I tried to use jQuery trigger but was not able to achieve what I wanted.

FireEvent with oncontextmenu or contextmenu or mousedown with button 2 are not working the element is just highlighted and nothing happens.

For Drag and Drop, I was able to follow what you have mentioned.

What I personally think is that first we need to find whether that particular element is having that event or not.

I don't know how it is implemented in Selenium WebDriver, first action is created n then performed.

I also tried finding element position on screen and then using user32 mousedown n mouseup event, but without success as it clicks at random positions.

Could you please help with some working examples on IE 11?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I just posted an answer to the way to do this using Windows UI Automation at https://github.com/o2platform/FluentSharp_Fork.WatiN/issues/10 . Specially the last code sample,  can you use that technique to solve your problem? Btw, you can actually get direct references using windows UI automation to a number of controls inside a web browser (like links, buttons, textBoxes, etc...). So it is possible to write a really solid UI tests this way (using WatiN/WebBrowser-control and the White API) 

If you want to do this more natively, or via Javascript, can you post an simple HTML page with a variation of your current code and events you want to trigger?

H Rahul, where you able to find a solution for your issue?

Are you still using Watin? or have you decided to give Selenium a go? (if so, my latests published tool might help Node-Webkit REPL with support for Chrome's WebDriver)
