Summary

Sometimes it's necessary to customize a workload to input data into a field or interact with a control or button. For example, if an app requires authentication to access the program and prompts for username and password credentials to continue.

Steps

This is the general flow of the functions in the workload to interact with a field, control, or button:

1. Via the App_focus function, focus on the window which contains the field, control, or button to be interacted with
2. Focus on the field, control, or button either by using a function to tab to it, clicking on coordinates, or focusing on the control. The following functions can achieve this:
   • VSI_controlfocus function
   • VSI_mouse_position function, and subsequently, the VSI_mouse_click function
   • VSI_appfocusimage function
   • VSI_type_fixed function
     • Note the non-alphanumeric keyboard keys that can sent
3. Also, now, the workload can instruct the engine to type in the field, if selected. There are multiple ways to do this via functions:
   • VSI_typefromcsv function
   • VSI_type_fixed function
   • VSI_controlsend function
