Hi,

Sorry but it is not possible to get these buttons. These buttons are drawn by Excel and we cannot track them. But as a workaround you could click the cell on the center-right location to hit the button. The dropdown inside this button can be tracked. I will also file a bug for this issue and maybe the related developer will find a solution to provide the button.sbaheti wrote:Herewith i attached the Screenshot.the control to be found is highlighted by red rectanle

Couldn't you use the gdi rawimage capture here?

Hi,
Yes you could but you will have no joy, because the images are always the same. Means they have the same hashcode and the rectangle recognition is a bit off.

Ah yes! How about getting the matching raw images then use the column index as the instance?

Yes you could, but I wouldn't suggest this, because to work with instances alone is a bit fishy.sdaly wrote: How about getting the matching raw images then use the column index as the instance?
