Compare properties of two objects

I need to be able to assert that a value entered and saved on one web-page is appearing on a different web-page - so if I enter £250.00 in TextBox 'Value' on Page 1, I need to be able to validate tha...

    Thanks tristaanogre. Yes you're quite right....the objects under comparison are on different pages - however, I think your idea, in conjunction with baxatob's input should work OK.

     

    Thanks

The simplest approach is to use the Property Checkpoint for your textbox.

Check its property .value or .Text

There is not a specific checkpoint to compare the object properties on one page to the properties on another page.  What makes it trickier, if I understand it correctly, is that the two objects don't co-exist on the same page so you can't even do a comparison within the page.

 

However, you do have control over the value being typed in, am I correct?  So, you could use the aqObject.CheckProperty (as baxatob mentions) method to check to see if the value on your object equals what you typed in previously.  Something like:

 

MyTestValue = '250.00';
aqObject.CheckProperty(Aliases.MyForm.CashBox, "value", cmpEqual, MyTestValue, false);

Or, if you're using keywords, in your Property Checkpoint operation, click in the Value field and click the Ellipses... you can then change the value property to point to a variable rather than a constant.
