check for overlap / Selenium error "element cannot click element at point x, y"

[dornech]

Somtimes you may have trouble clicking overlapped elements. I did a port form a simple Python solution (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49921128/selenium-cant-click-element-because-other-element-obscures-it/72361846#72361846).
Probably it is of interest to some.

Function IsOverlapped(ByRef objWebDriver As SeleniumVBA.WebDriver, ByRef objWebElt As SeleniumVBA.WebElement) As Boolean

   Dim _
      objWebEltCheck As SeleniumVBA.WebElement
   
   Set objWebEltCheck = getOverlappingWebElt(objWebDriver, objWebElt)
   IsOverlapped = (objWebElt.GetElementId() <> objWebEltCheck.GetElementId())
   Set objWebEltCheck = Nothing

End Function


Function getOverlappingWebElt(ByRef objWebDriver As SeleniumVBA.WebDriver, ByRef objWebElt As SeleniumVBA.WebElement) As SeleniumVBA.WebElement

   Dim _
      objWebEltCheck As SeleniumVBA.WebElement, _
      dictRect As Dictionary

   Set dictRect = objWebElt.GetRect()
   Set getOverlappingWebElt = objWebDriver.ExecuteScript("return document.elementFromPoint(arguments[0], arguments[1]);", Int(dictRect("x") + dictRect("width") / 2), Int(dictRect("y") + dictRect("height") / 2))
   Set dictRect = Nothing

End Function
