Asserting table/grid data

Question

My web applications uses AG Grid.&nbsp; I don't believe that is specifically supported by TestComplete so I am struggling to find the best way to still utilize TC and validate my table.The Table Checkpoint feature seems not usable. The table is not recognizable but with OCR it can create a table store but the data it extracts is somewhat messed up and thus not a good baseline to use. When I fix the data in the store the comparison fails because it is reading the data from AG Grid incorrectly.&nbsp;I can map individual cells of the table but this does not seem like a good approach.Does anyone have any suggestions or best practices for working with grids when it is not supported by TC?&nbsp;

I'm not familiar with that particular table type. However, I've had to deal with a bunch of others that aren't supported by TC (e.g. Stingray). A lot of the time I'm able to select the contents with some combination of keystrokes and mouse clicks. After that I copy them to the clipboard and validate either using functions in a script or a clipboard checkpoint. If you can't get the contents selected and on the clipboard, then obviously that approach won't help.

In VBScript I might:
1) Click on the top left corner of the grid.
2) Use Keys("^![End]") to get everything selected.
3) Use Keys("^c") to get it on the clipboard.
4) Set variables equal to the string on the clipboard and my expected text
5) Verify the results:
If (aqString.StrMatches(txtExpected, txtActual) = True) Then
Call Log.Checkpoint("The clipboard checkpoint succeeded.")
Else
Call Log.Error("Clipboard checkpoint failed")
End If

Might, or might not, work in your case. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the data in the table is not able to be copied so that approach will not work for me
