Below is the code to find tab order
auto=WIN32OLE.new('AutoItX3.control')
# mark the first control in order to prevent indefinite loop.
auto.Send("{TAB}")
auto.Send("{TAB}")
element = ie.show_active
tabOrder = 1
controlKey = "EthDomain"
while (element != nil or element != "")
if (element.include? (controlKey)) //controlKey : is either id or
name or text
break
else
auto.Send("{TAB}")
tabOrder += 1
element = ie.show_active
end
end
puts tabOrder
