Imacros for automaiting test on Siebel 8.0 GUI

Hi All,
I'm very new in IMacros. I found it very powerful but now i need to automate tests on Siebel 8 GUI.
I tried to switch beetwen all the record modes, but there are some Siebel UI controls that are unsensitive to mouse clicks.
Siebel is not a web application, but it is rather ma thick client.

Have you ever succeeded to properly record Siebel GUI navigation using imacros?

As long as the GUI is shown inside the web browser, iMacros can automate it. Are you testing the Siebel web client?

I have done a number of imacros with Siebel successfully. I know what you mean about it being unresponsive. I found that through using a combination of html commands and click commands I could accomplsih what I needed.

In a nutshell, I use html mode for filling fields and selecting from drop downs and the click command mode for clicking on buttons or links. While html (automatic) mode would - eventually - work on buttons/links most of the time I observed GREAT speed increases by using the click method. If you are unfamiliar with the click method press the "Click Mode" button from the Record tab and select the DirectScreen option but turn off the Add Timing option or your macro will be filled with 100's of lines of stuff you likely don't need.
