Not sure why it is not "technically" possible to click on a given matrix column/row using the Click() function. The Click method is readily available on matrix column rows in the UI API; why can't this process be mapped to the Macro UF Click() function?

  Hi Kevin, 

  Are you looking to double click on a rows / columns header using the click command?

  Rows - This is available with doubleclick() command.

   - Sample: DoubleClick($[$38.RowsHeader.0.1]) will on a sales order double-click the 1st row to show the Line details

  Column - available with SortColumn($[$<item>.<col>.<0>]| <ValueToSet>); - this command will sort columns on a Matrix or Grid in current form. Default is ascending order.

   - Sample: SortColumn($[$38.1.0]|DESC);will sort the Item No. column on sales order.

  Hope it helps.

  If this is not what you meant, please clerify in your reply the specific scenario.

  Thanks, Naama

  Hi Naama,

  Neither of those scenarios are what I am looking for. Specifically, I would like to open a BP record, open the Contacts tab and click on a specific contact (just like the native UI does when clicking a Contact golden arrow.)

  Since the contacts are in a single column matrix, there are no macro functions available for this action. I was able to create a .net uf to accomplish this, but it seems as if the Matrix.Columns.Item().Cells.Item().Click() method would be something that boyum could use in a macro function.
