Renaming the screens

[Anonymous]

Query:Inside an application I have to duplicate the required number of screen and rename it. How many screens has to duplicated needs to be entered by the user. Through left click option on the screen(Test_01) (2nd image) I can duplicate and rename the screens. The renaming sequence has to be Test_02,Test_03..and so on until the required screen are duplicated.

Using Desktop Recorder Dupliaction of the screens is possible but how about renaming the screens.

There is an order of trial error to go through.

Try to use UI's discovered by the recorder

Try to capture the UI's yourself

Try to offset a known UI to click where you need to.  For example, you said the recorder worked for "Duplicate".  So if you can get to the Duplicate UI, but you are having trouble with the rename UI, then get the duplicate UI and tell the left click to offset about -20 on the y axis.  Play around with this number until it clicks where you want it to.  

Try to use hotkeys.  If you have this right click open, can you press Alt, and any underlines appear?  If so, then use Send Keys to select the option, such as Send Keys {Alt}(r) for rename.

Instead of hotkeys try using a combination of keyboard controls.  For example, if you have this right clicked, I bet Send Keys {Down:4}{Enter} would work to go down 4 menu items and press enter.

As a last result, you can always use Move Mouse to Image which has a built in click option.

Best of luck!

Hi @Anonymous 

1. Capture the text of that element before making duplicate. Let's say it is Test_01
2. Make a duplicate of it. You mentioned you are able to do it.
3. Using string functions take the text stored in Step 1 and suffix "_copy1" to it.
so your new string now is Test_01_copy1.
4. Via the flow Go to the element that will have the name as Test_01_copy1. Right click on it and Rename as Test_02

Using the recorder click the Rename and use that selector to identify the correct text for step 4.
