Click Method
Description
Clicks the object.
Syntax
object.Click [x], [y], [BUTTON]
Arguments
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| x |
Optional. An integer value. The x-coordinate of the click. Note that the specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object. The default value is the center of the object. Default value = 0 |
| y |
Optional. An integer value. The y-coordinate of the click. Note that the specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object. The default value is the center of the object.

IMPORTANT
- UFT One does not record the Click method for right- or middle-clicks. Instead, UFT One records the RightClick and MiddleClick methods.
- Recording options for this method are defined in the Advanced tab of the Web Options dialog box. For details, see the section on the Web > Advanced pane in the UFT One Help Center.
- For some Mozilla Firefox objects, this method is recorded only if a handler is present. For details, see the topic on working with multiple browsers in the UFT One Help Center.

| y |
Optional. An integer value. The y-coordinate within the source object. Default value = 0 |

Optional. A String value. The keyboard modifier that is pressed during the Drag operation. Possible values:
|
Return Type
None
IMPORTANT
Drag and Drop operations are performed as a coupled step. Inserting one operation without the other causes an error to occur in the run session.
UFT One supports the following scenarios:
- Scenario A: One object is dragged onto another object. For example, you can drag a WebButton from one frame object (source object) to another object (target object), or drag a WebElement (source object) onto a Link object (target object) in the same frame.
- Scenario B: An object is moved from one location in a frame to another location in the same frame. In this case, the test object used for the Drag setp is the same as the test object used for the Drop step.
- Scenario C: An item within an object is moved to another location within that object (also known as drag and pan). For example, in a map application, you can relocate an image relative to itself or drag a Slider object.
General Note:
UFT One always runs Drag and Drop steps using the mouse API, even if you defined the Replay type as Event in the Run settings section of the Web > Advanced pane (Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Web pane > Advanced node).
Notes for Scenario A:
- When recording: You cannot record crossobject or cross-frame types of drag and drop operations (operations in which you try to drop an object on another object or in another frame). You can, however, insert these types of Drop steps manually. Note that it may be helfup to record a drag and drop operation on the object in order to determine valid coordinates for the Drag operation step. You will need to delete the recorded Drop step, though, and manually add a new Drop step for the target object instead.
- When running: If the application being tested supports scrolling, then UFT One supports scrolling when the Drag and Drop test objects are both located in the same frame. UFT One drags the Drag object to the edge of the frame, waits for the Drop object to appear, and drops the Drag object onto the Drop object. If the application being tested does not support scrolling, then UFT One displays an error message when it reaches a step that requires scrolling.
- Run session. If you want to drag a test object from one frame to another, UFT One tries to make both the Drag and Drop objects visible in their frames prior to performing the Drag and Drop operation. If the two objects cannot be viewed simultaneously (for example, because the browser window is too small), the step will fail.
Notes for Scenario B and Scenario C:
- If the screen resolution during a run session is not the same as the screen resolution during the recording session, then the size of the frame may be different during the run session as compared to the recording session. In this case, the target location coordinates may be different during the run session, and this may cause the test steps to fail.
- During a run session, if the coordinates of a Drop step are located outside the visible frame area (for example, because your application changed), then the step may not run accurately. To solve this, fix the specified coordinates, as needed. The test object can be dragged only within the visible area of the frame object. Dragging the object to the edge of a window or frame does not cause the area to scroll (as it does in Scenario A).
Drop Method
Description
Performs the 'drop' part of a drag and drop operation.
Syntax
object.Drop [x], [y]
Arguments
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| x |
Optional. An integer value. The x-coordinate of the target object on which the dragged object is dropped. If the dragged and dropped object is the same object, then the x-coordinate is relative to the upper left corner in the source location prior to being dragged. Default value = 0 |
| y |
Optional. An integer value. The y-coordinate of the target object on which the dragged object is dropped. If the dragged and dropped object is the same object, then the y-coordinate is relative to the upper left corner in the source location prior to being dragged. Default value = 0 |
Return Type
None
IMPORTANT
Drag and Drop operations are performed as a coupled step. Inserting one operation without the other causes and error to occur. For more information on Drag and Drop operations, see Drag Method.
ExtendSelect Method

IMPORTANT
- If UFT One does not record the MiddleClick method, it may be due to Web Event Recording Configuration settings that were preserved fro the upgrade of a previous UFT One version. In this case, you can enable recording of these methods by resetting the Web Event Recording Configuration to a preconfigured level. For details, see the topic on the Custom Web Event Recording Configuration in the Add-ins section of the UFT One Help Center.
- When Event Replay is selected for the Replay type option (by using Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Web pane > Advanced node), UFT One fires onmousedown, focus, and onmouseup events for this method, which may cause slightly different behavior than the regular Click method with a micMiddleButton value for the Button argument.
