"Visible" attribute specification in a match rule
Can we somehow specify "Visible" attribute value as a match rule for Web adapter?
As for now, we have multiple hits in Targets, and need to pick up the one from the list. It can be achieved by "Visible" attribute specification in this customer's case.

Here is a script you can pass the WebPage into to see if it is Visible.

There's a property of the control named "UnmatchOnHidden". You may try that to see if that works for you. In addition, you could also check that property in your automation and skip your automation logic based on that property (i.e. don't do it if it is invisible).

Thank you! But "UnmatchOnHidden" property seems to be the one for Windows adapter, not for Web Adapter, according to the help pages. Can we somehow use it for Web browser?

If the 'OuterHtml' (or InnerHtml) of the control specifies this value 'Visible' (whether visible or not), you may add the 'Attribute Value Match Rule' and specify the Attribute 'OuterHtml' and in the 'Text' property of this match rule, you may define the match as required.

Thank you everyone.
I am one of the member of the project which met this problem.
It seems to be resolved by setting the value of usekey property to "true".
All of targets become to be attached to one control and when a automation process runs,
a appropriate target (having visible=true) is automatically selected by a robot even though there are some candidate target(In the condition that there is only one target which have visible=true).
I set the value of key property to "none" on the design blocks in the automation flow.

I would not recommend leaving this to chance. When you set UseKeys to true you get a CloneCollection which you can iterate through using the GetClones method. You can then check each clone for the Visible property to ensure you are operating on the correct one.

Thank you jeff.
I tried to do that, but the the control on which i set UseKey propery is "OpenSpan.Adapters.Web.Controls.WebPage".
It doesn't have visible property.
I can see the visible property only in
Match Rules Window (of WebPage control)
> Selected Target Area (whose NativeTypeName is OpenSpan.Adapters.Web.HtmlDocument)
> ParentTarget (whose NativeWindowname is Internet Explorer_Server)
> Visible
Could you give me some advices ?
