Hi Horst,

 

Take a look at the description of the Log.Message/Log.Warning/Log.Error commands and their keyword equivalents. The contents of their second parameter appears in the Extended Message panel.

Hi,

 

I think you speaking about the "AdditionalInformation" parameter

 

As decribed in the description

 

"

AdditionalInformation

Additional text to be displayed in the Additional Info pane of the Test Log. AdditionalInformation can hold data of any type compatible with OLE. If it cannot be converted to text, its value is ignored.

The AdditionalInformation parameter can also hold HTML code. The test engine will compile the HTML page and display it in the Additional Info pane. For more information, see Posting Messages to the Log.

"

 

this parameter writes information to the Additional Info Pane and not to the "Extended Message"

 

Maybe i do something wrong?

 

regards

 

Horst

    Oops...

    Yes, you are absolutely correct.

    Unfortunaly, I don't know how (and even not sure if this is possible) to pupolate the Extended Message panel with some custom data.

    Maybe someone else (Support?) will comment here...
