双击按钮Internet Explorer Excel VBA

Question

I am trying to simulate double clicking on an object in internet explorer.

Here is the HTML code:

<tr class="selected lead" style="height: 19px;">
<td class="sort-column" style="width: 1200px; line-height: 17px; text-indent: 19px;">
<img class="bi-tree-view-expand-icon" alt="" src="/resource/image/bid/triangle_collapsed_16.png">
<img class="icon" alt="" src=" /resource/image/bid/folder_closed_16.png">
My Content</td>
<td class="horizontal-filler" style="width: 100px;">&nbsp;</td></tr>

And the VBA code (which is currently working):

For Each Btn In IE.document.getElementsByClassName("sort-column")
    If Btn.innerText = "My Content" Then
        Btn.Click
        Exit For
    End If
Next Btn

I can see the code pressing my button, but what I need is a double click of the button. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

I spent some time on this and couldn't find a universal answer. It seems any particular method that fires synthetic events may not work depending on a browser's preferred method, control inheritance, and other factors.

Assuming the event is supported, initialized, and has a listener then one of these may work for you.

If your using Chrome, Firefox, or IE 9 and below

Btn.FireEvents("ondblclick")

Except IE 8 which reportedly wants focus on the object

Btn.Focus
Btn.FireEvents("ondblclick")

And if you're on IE 10+ and above then you'll be more successful with:

Btn.dispatchEvent("ondblclick")

I'll be back after building a project to try these out. In the meantime I hope this points you in a helpful direction.
