copied!<p>With WatiN, it is possible to get to the "native" interface of elements in IE windows. Using that you can get the screen coordinates of any element.</p> <pre><code>using mshtml; //Add a reference to Microsoft.mshtml that comes with WatiN. using WatiN.Core.Native.InternetExplorer; public static System.Drawing.Point GetScreenPoint(IEElement element) { IHTMLElement nativeElement = element.AsHtmlElement; IHTMLElement2 offsetElement = (IHTMLElement2)nativeElement; IHTMLRect clientRect = offsetElement.getBoundingClientRect(); IHTMLDocument2 doc = (IHTMLDocument2)nativeElement.document; IHTMLWindow3 window = (IHTMLWindow3)doc.parentWindow; int windowLeft = window.screenLeft; int windowTop = window.screenTop; int elementLeft = clientRect.left; int elementTop = clientRect.top; int width = nativeElement.offsetWidth; int height = nativeElement.offsetHeight; int clickX = windowLeft + elementLeft + (width / 2); int clickY = windowTop + elementTop + (height / 2); return new System.Drawing.Point(clickX, clickY); } </code></pre> <p>To use it:</p> <pre><code>Button myButton = browser.Button(Find.ById("myButton")); System.Drawing.Point clickPoint = GetScreenPoint((IEElement)myButton.NativeElement); MyClick(clickPoint); </code></pre> <p>Obviously the element has to be visible. I don't know how to check for that offhand, but I think you can change the scrollTop and scrollLeft attributes of the body to scroll around.</p> <p>You'll also need a method to actually do the click, but there's probably an answer for that already on stackoverflow.</p>
