C++ application testing with VBScript, got a CString, how to cope with it?

Hello,   I am new on test complete and I am trying to use this product to test our C++ desktop application. This application uses Stingray grid and I am trying to access to it via VB Scripting. I...

    Are you sure that GetStyleRowCol() is the correct method and the parameters are correct? Can you try GetValueRowCol(row, col) with 1-based indexes? It works in the sample app I have. (But I have no experience with Stingray grids, so I don't really know which method is more "correct".)

    Most likely the string is actually empty. Are your method parameters valid?

    How comes the GetLength() called on it gives an error?

    There're some limitations on what native methods/properties are available. It might be that the CString::GetLength method is not included in the app's debug info. Is GetLength listed among the methods of your CString when you inspect it?

     

    As an alternative, the Len function should work: Len(cellContent.m_pszData)

CStrings should have the m_pszData field that contains the actual string. You may need to switch to the advanced view to see it.

    Thank you, I have seen your suggestion in another post but that attribute is unfortunately empty.

    But I know that the variable is still a CString.

    How comes the GetLength() called on it gives an error?

        Hi, Thank you for your reply.

         

        well, stingray grid is a roguewave, so your sample should actually be good for me.

        The method GetValueRowCol worked fine to me!!!!

         

        Thank you very much.
