Hi Mukesh, I have been a frequent visitor to your channel. I appreciate all your efforts in making life easier for all the testers out there. I was just following this video and trying to automate the calculator, but UISPY gives me an error on the start that limited user access will limit most of the features and when I run it I don't see the pane item for a calculator as you do. So, I tried to use INSPECT.EXE app instead of UISPy. and the automationid i got for the buttons are "num1Button" etc. But when I run the program, I see that it opened calc app but does nothing and no errors as well. Can you please let me know any reason for this? I am using findElement.id and also tried .name as well. But no luck.
Good tutorial. My question was how do we automate an application whose path isnot present. Example case is, want to search teams from windo search open team and send message to group. How do I automate this.
Is this stable for all windows application and not just for pre defined apps like calc or notepad ?
