ValuePattern-IsSelected. Get Current Window Wait Until my Entire window loads Switch Between UIA2 and UIA3 Find All Elements(This should find all elements those are having similar xpath and this should return as a list. Based on requirement we can perform action in any element in that list) Close Application using Application name as of now we can only close with Application Process ID

Hi, @vamsivarma94 . As i have used FlauiLIbrary a few months (i am user too, not author), I have some ideas for your questions

1. ValuePattern-IsSelected. Do you mean add "IS_SELECTED" into keyword "Get Property From Element". If you want to know specific type element such as RadioButton, Checkbox, you can use keyword "Get Radiobutton State", "Get Checkbox State".
2. Get Current Window is hard to achieve. Because there has no correct property of a window can explain that the window is on top. So you should know which window is on top when it runs in which testcase step.
3. Wait Until Entire Window Loads. I suggest you can use keyword "Wait Until Element Is Enabled" , when the last element of Window is Enabled, Window is loaded over.
4. I did not know anything about Switch Between UIA2 and UIA3.
5. Find All Elements. If your elements are belong to a same father element, you can use keyword "Get Childs From Element" to see does it can achieve your requirement. In current design, robotframe-flaui always returns the first one element of when all elements have similar xpath.
6. Close Application you can use element xpath like /Window[@Name="your application name"] or /Window[contains(@Name, "you application name")]

Hi,

@JimRevolutionist thanks to help.

I will analyze the requested keywords which can help you and give a feedback about it. However, Jim did a good job of describing some approaches.

I would try to implement most of the keyword for the next release as much as possible.

@Nepitwin Thanks a lot for all your contributions and support to this library. Which is really helping us in automating all desktop related applications.

@JimRevolutionist and @Nepitwin I think we can still include few keywords in our library which will help us in utilizing this library completely.

Kindly just go through the below link of an FLAUI library wrapper which has some additional keywords which were developed as wrappers(in python) based on FLAUI DLL's. https://github.com/amruthvvkp/flaui-uiautomation-wrapper/tree/master/flaui/wrappers/core

Implemented keywords from this issue

• [x] ValuePattern-IsSelected.
• [x] Switch Between UIA2 and UIA3

ToDos

• [ ] Get Current Window
• [ ] Wait Until my Entire window loads
• [ ] Find All Elements(This should find all elements those are having similar xpath and this should return as a list. Based on requirement we can perform action in any element in that list)
• [ ] Close Application using Application name as of now we can only close with Application Process ID

[Nepitwin]

Find All Elements will be implemented to return an AutomationEntity class whcih contains AutomationId, Name, ClassName, and Xpath which contains a list from all founded elements.

But be carefully https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI/blob/2eb0f7cd0ec7896f5eeddd6263ffbc42f9168df9/src/FlaUI.Core/Debug.cs#L19 will be used which is an heavy Tree Walker Operation to get full Xpath from elements.

Wait Until my Entire window loads keyword can not be identified if window is fully loaded.

But probably the WindowsInteractionState Property from Window can help.

This contains a ReadyForUserInteraction this could be used to idendity that the window is ready to use.

See documentation in https://gdatasoftwareag.github.io/robotframework-flaui/keywords/2.0.13.html#Window%20Interaction%20State%20Should%20Be

So keyword will not be implemented here.

• [x] Get Current Window

Get current window can not be implemented because we do not have any indicator here which modal window is at front. So developers has to know which desktop ui currently is at front. On possibility to force it is to use Focus Keyword.

If advices exists for the two keywords pls reopen an new issue here. All other keywords are implemeted and can be used in future release.
