Set Focus on Object

This is a pre-built Action located under the @Custom Element. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to set the focus on the element or object specified in the input. The result is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

The Set Focus on Object action works only when the VerifyExists action is executed in a preceding step.

Syntax

Input Value: <ObjectType>;<VisibleText(Optional)>;<Index>;<abs(optional)>

Argument	Description
<ObjectType> (Required)	Provide the type of object which you want to set focus.
<VisibleText> (Optional)	Provide the visible text associated with the object.
<Index> (Required)	Provide the position of the object you want to identify based on its sequence in the application. Note: Index start from 0.
<abs> (Optional)	Provide the absolute XPath of the object you want to identify for this operation.

Note:

• If the last argument abs is defined, the action executes using absolute identification based on the specified absolute XPath provided in the input.

• To skip an optional input value, use an extra semicolon (;).

Output Value: <Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)

Argument	Description
<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)	Both dynamic variable stores the status as True or False.

Example 1: Setting Focus on a UI Element

In this example, we explain how to bring focus to a specific UI element on the application interface using the provided identification details.

• Action: Set Focus on Object

• Input Value: button;;0

  • The first argument (button) specifies the object type to be identified.

  • The second argument is left blank to skip an optional value.

  • The third argument (0) specifies the index of the object when multiple matching elements are present.

• Output Value: {Status}

  • The result of the focus operation is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable, with the following possible values:

    • True: If the focus is set successfully on the element.

    • False: If the focus is not set successfully on the element.

• Logical Explanation: The Set Focus on Object action reads the identification details from the Input Value column (button;;0). The action locates the matching UI element based on the specified object type and index and applies focus to it. The execution result of the focus action (True) is stored in the {Status} variable.

Example 2: Setting Focus on a UI Element using Optional Parameters

In this example, we are explaining how to bring focus to a specific UI element on the application interface using optional identification parameters.

• Action: Set Focus on Object

• Input Value: button;Click Me;2

  • The first argument (button) specifies the object type to be identified.

  • The second argument (Click Me) specifies the visible text of the object.

  • The third argument (2) specifies the index of the object when multiple matching elements are present.

• Output Value: {Status}

  • The result of the focus operation is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable, with the following possible values:

    • True: If the focus is set successfully on the element.

    • False: If the focus is not set successfully on the element.

• Logical Explanation: The Set Focus on Object action reads the identification details from the Input Value column (button;Click Me;2). The action locates the matching UI element based on the specified object type, visible text, and index, and applies focus to it. The execution result of the focus action (True) is stored in the {Status} variable.
