51) How do you perform mouse operations?

You can use the selenium class named as Actions to perform the mouse operations. You need to use methods build and perform after using the methods like click(),doubleClick() etc.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id(“ElementID”));
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act.doubleClick(element).build().perform();

Yes, we can do this by using Actions class only. We need to create the source and destination webelement first.

WebElement source = driver.findElement(By.id(“Source ElementID”));
WebElement destination = driver.findElement(By.id(“Taget ElementID”));
Actions act = new Actions(driver);
act.dragAndDrop(source, destination ).perform();

58) Can u write a code for printing in selenium?

There are two cases:

Case1. Any hyperlink/button on a web page, and clicking that link/button will open a print dialog box .(i.e. perform an action on a web page)

Case2. Open print dialog box within your own script, not by performing any action on web page.

driver.get(“http:\\google.com”);
