Unable to switch focus to newly opened "LocalizedControlType:menubar" window

[Devi9352]

I am creating POC for WinAppDriver using Java. Within my application, after i press enter key, another window opens up. But its Localized ControlType is "menubar" and Not "Window" Whose parent is Desktop Since its Localized ControlType is not shown as window, i am unable to switch to that window using getWindowHandles() method Hence i am not able to identify any element within that Menubar window. Could someone help me to resolve this issue?

I get this xpath using UIrRecorder tool: "/Pane[@ClassName='#32769'][@Name='Desktop']/MenuBar[@Name='NB Indexing'][@AutomationId='NBIndexingView']"

Thanks in Advance

Try by creating desktop session and identify the menu bar.

Thanks for the reply. Below mentioned code starts my app:

appCapabilities.setCapability("app", SERVICENAME); appCapabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC"); windowsDriver = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/"), appCapabilities);

I believe I need to set capability like this appCapabilities.setCapabilities(“app”,”Root”) to create a desktop session.

In that case, my app is not getting opened since capability is set at Root level.

Correct me if I am wrong and Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks in Advance.

@Devi9352 Here is the scenario that you should try. 1)Create session for working with your application ( Your First logic for launching the app should be enough) - Whatever controls comes under your application tree, should interact with this session only and you should be able to interact with elements under it.

2) In order to interact with other windows which do not falls under your application tree, you should create one more session ( you may name it as DesktopSession) to interact with it.

Here is the code for creating desktop session ....................................................................................................................................................................................................... public static void CreateDesktopSession() { DesiredCapabilities desktopCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); desktopCapabilities.SetCapability("app", "Root"); desktopSession = new WindowsDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), desktopCapabilities);

        var ShellWindow = desktopSession.FindElementByClassName("#32770"); // This is class name of my window which appears under Desktop tree.
            var TopLevelWindowHandle = ShellWindow.GetAttribute("NativeWindowHandle");
            TopLevelWindowHandle = (int.Parse(TopLevelWindowHandle)).ToString("x");

            //Attach it to session
            DesiredCapabilities appcapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
            appcapabilities.SetCapability("appTopLevelWindow", TopLevelWindowHandle);
            session = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri(WindowsApplicationDriverUrl), appcapabilities);

        }

Thanks for your response. I tried tweaking your code as per my requirement.

//Setting Root capability code

desktopCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities(); appCapabilities.setCapability("app", "Root"); WindowsDriver desktopSession = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/") ,appCapabilities);

//Finding the menubar window WebElement menuBar = desktopSession.findElementByName("NB Indexing"); String window = menuBar.getAttribute("NativeWindowHandle"); int winHandleInt = Integer.parseInt(window); String winHandleHex = Integer.toHexString(winHandleInt);

DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities(); appCapabilities.setCapability("appTopLevelWindow",winHandleHex );

WindowsDriver session = new WindowsDriver(new URL(http://127.0.0.1:4723/"), cap);

//Finding an element within the session window WebElement contract = session.findElementByAccessibilityId("tbxPolicy");

The error I am getting is “org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create new remote session. desired capabilities = Capabilities [{platformName=Windows}], required capabilities = Capabilities [{}]

I am not sure what url I need to provide here while creating session for that window i.e WindowsDriver session = new WindowsDriver(new URL(http://127.0.0.1:4723/"), cap);

Appreciate your time

Thanks
