How to access the Context Menu using keyboard

[kulm...@gmail.com]

I need to use context menu key (the menu that comes with right-click) and then 2 keys to select items from the context menu.

 

1. I didn't find the context menu key in the SpecialKeys Enum.

2. I figured Shift+F10 gives the same effect. So I wrote following code.

 

            AttachedKeyboard keyboard = designerSurface.Keyboard;
            keyboard.HoldKey(KeyboardInput.SpecialKeys.SHIFT);
            keyboard.PressSpecialKey(KeyboardInput.SpecialKeys.F10);
            keyboard.LeaveKey(KeyboardInput.SpecialKeys.SHIFT);
            keyboard.Enter("d");

            keyboard.Enter("e");

            keyboard.PressSpecialKey(KeyboardInput.SpecialKeys.RETURN);

 

3. I also tried putting some Sleeps in between.

 

           AttachedKeyboard keyboard = designerSurface.Keyboard;
            keyboard.HoldKey(KeyboardInput.SpecialKeys.SHIFT);
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
            keyboard.PressSpecialKey(KeyboardInput.SpecialKeys.F10);
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
            keyboard.LeaveKey(KeyboardInput.SpecialKeys.SHIFT);
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
            keyboard.Enter("d");
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
            keyboard.Enter("e");
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
            keyboard.PressSpecialKey(KeyboardInput.SpecialKeys.RETURN);

 

The context menu just flickers for a fraction of a sec and then disappears. The 2 keys to select item from the menu never work. Anyone has any clue why?

 

Thanks!

Can you use right click on the mouse instead?

Unfortunately that's exactly what I am trying to avoid for a reason. :(

Do you think you could extend https://github.com/TestStack/White/blob/master/src/TestStack.White.UITests/ControlTests/MenuItems/PopUpMenuTest.cs with a failing test case which demonstrates what you are trying to achieve. This sounds like an issue, and I do not have the time to replicate and also fix the issue at the moment.

 

Cheers,

Jake

Let me have a look. I sure can extend if it's easy enough.
