FindWindow Tag in Unified Service Desk

  • Artigo

The <FindWindow> tag consists of a list of child elements that represent a sequence of match operations, all of which need to succeed for the target window to be considered found.

The following code snippet shows how the various <FindWindow> elements are used to find the target window:

# RELAX NG XML grammar for FindWindow  
# https://relaxng.org/compact-tutorial-20030326.html  
#  
grammar {  
   start      = FindWindow  
   FindWindow = element FindWindow {  
element ControlId { attribute match { xsd:integer }?, text }*  
& element Caption { attribute match { xsd:integer }?, text }*  
& element CaptionStartsWith { same as Caption }*  
& element CaptionEndsWith { same as Caption }*  
& element CaptionContains { same as Caption }*  
& element Class { attribute match { xsd:integer }?, text }*  
& element ClassStartsWith { same as Class }*  
& element ClassEndsWith { same as Class }*  
& element ClassContains { same as Class }*  
& element Find { Caption & Class }*  
& element Desktop { empty }*  
& element Application { empty }*

& element RelaxProcessIdRestriction { empty }*  
& element RelaxThreadIdRestriction  { empty }*  
}  
}

<FindWindow> tag elements

The following table describes the various elements of the <FindWindow> tag:

Element Description
ControlId Window with ID.
Caption Window caption text.
CaptionStartsWith Caption starts with text.
CaptionEndsWith Caption ends with text.
CaptionContains Caption contains text.
Class Window with class name.
ClassStartsWith Class name stats with text.
ClassEndsWith Class name ends with text.
ClassContains Class contains text.
Find Searches for window as specified via Class or Caption element.
Desktop Sets the search point to the desktop.
Application Sets the search point to the applications top-level window.
Owner Window with specified owner.
RelaxProcessIdRestriction Includes windows with different process IDs in search. By default, all windows belong to the same process ID.
RelaxThreadIdRestriction Includes windows with different thread ID in search process. By default all windows belong to the same thread ID.

The following XML shows control definition using the <FindWindow> tag.

<FindWindow>  
<Desktop/>  
<Caption match="1">Font</Caption>  
<Class>#32770</Class>  
<Caption>OK</Caption>  
</FindWindow>  
<FindWindow>  
<Application/>  
<ControlId>7d</ControlId>  
</FindWindow>  
<FindWindow>  
<Desktop/>  
<Class>Notepad</Class>  
</FindWindow>

In the preceding XML example, the elements have the following definitions:

  • <Application/> – Sets the context window to the top-level window of the application. By default, the context is initialized to the top-level window before the first child node in <FindWindow/>.

  • <Desktop/> – Sets the context window to the root-level desktop window.

  • <Caption match="1">Font</Caption> – Searches the window hierarchy, starting at the current context window and working down the hierarchy, for the first window with caption text that matches the text provided. If match="2", it searches for the second window with caption text that matches the provided text. If no match attribute is provided, match="1" is the default. The text comparison is a substring match against the caption text. If the provided text can be found as a substring in the subject window's caption, it is considered a match. The successful matching window becomes the new context window. If no match is found, the search fails. By default, only windows that belong to the same ProcessId and ThreadId are considered a match.

  • <Class>#32770</Class> – Searches the window hierarchy, for the first window with class text that matches the provided text. All other behavioral details are identical to <Caption/>.

  • <ControlId>7d</ControlId> – Searches the window hierarchy, for the first window with a control ID that matches the provided value. This must be an exact match. All other behavioral details are identical to <Caption/>.

    The following XML searches for the window with the caption OK in the first window with the caption Font and the class ID 32770, starting at the desktop.

<FindWindow>  
<Desktop/>  
<Caption match="1">Font</Caption>  
<Class>#32770</Class>  
<Caption>OK</Caption>  
</FindWindow>

The following XML looks for the window with Control ID 7D, starting at the application's top-level window.

<FindWindow>  
<Application/>  
<ControlId>7d</ControlId>  
</FindWindow>

The following XML searches for the (first) window with the class name Notepad, starting at the desktop.

<FindWindow>  
<Desktop/>  
<Class>Notepad</Class>  
</FindWindow>
