Generic Click Relative
When you have really hard time with the scenario, when Click activity does not work, when Generic Click activity does not work, when it is impossible to hunt a control in the right place you need - consider using this activity. Generic Click Relative activity allows you to click any point in an application by reference to specified X and Y coordinates. This activity moves the focus to the place where click is done.
The parameter MyWindowCorners allows you to choose the reference corner of the control - horizontal and vertical offset will be calculated from that point. Positive numbers increase offset value to the right (X) and to the bottom (Y) while negative numbers to the left (X) and to the top (Y). The offset is measured in pixels.
To successfully use Generic Click Relative activity be sure your application is on top of your screen (its advised to use Window Activity before using GCR). Remember that essential to success is the same position of application on screen (and control's edges as well) during building the scenario and in production environment. Check the screen resolution - it has to be the same during building the scenario and in production environment.
