Hi Bill_H 

 

I hope you are keeping well.

 

We have the following short video which outlines the steps involved to obtain the value (ID) from the screen and store that value against a variable which you could then re-use later in your test.

 

Here is a link to the video; https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/videos/how-to-get-a-value-from-on-screen-and-store-it-for/

We have the following documentation on this process; https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/keyword-testing/reference/statements/set-variable-value.html 

 

Please let me know if this resolves your query or if you have any additional questions.

 

Thanks,

Shane

Hi Shane,

 

Thank you for this information.  I tried this however, it didn't resolve my query - I think my query was not specific enough ( I didn't realize) but I am trying to get a value from a cell in a Grid/table. This method of Onscreen Object selects the whole grid.  

 

Any other information would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Bill
