How can I get interact between several browsers

[fvalencia]

Hi everyone,

I'm using Silktest WorkBench 13.5, WIndows 7 64 bits and vb .net

I have four browsers opened at same time, I can't get toggle between theirs from SilkTest, how can I get a correctly interaction with all browsers opened

I using this lines:

(This get interacction with the first one page, but the second page doesn't work)

Shell("C:\Archivos de programa\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " & "http://www.mypage1.com/", vbMaximizedFocus)

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(15000)

With _desktop.BrowserApplication("webBrowser")

 .SetActive

With .BrowserWindow("browserWindow")

 .DomLink("Quiénes Somos").Click

End With

End With

Shell("C:\Archivos de programa\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " & "http://www.mypage2.com/", vbMaximizedFocus)

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(15000)

With _desktop.BrowserApplication("webBrowser")

.SetActive

With .BrowserWindow("browserWindow")

.DomLink("search").Click

End With

End With

Thanks in advanced

Hi, a suggestion here would be to create 4 object maps, one for each domain that your browser will navigate to, e.g. ‘webBrowser_mypage1’, ‘webBrowser_mypage2’, and so on.  In each object map add a unique locator path for the required browser window such as one that uses the caption property of the browser, e.g. /BrowserApplication[@caption='mypage1 – Windows Internet Explorer'], or however the caption appears for your websites.

Silk Test 14.0 handles this scenario much better by using a URL pattern based on the websites domain name and creates separate objects for each different URL pattern.  It is now available to download from the SupportLine product updates page..
