Fail to check property with special characters

Hi,



I use the method - aqObject.CheckProperty to compare a tip on the screen with the expected text which is <No Value> -> 123.45.

But the checkpoint fails with the following error - The property checkpoint failed (Reason: the OleValue does not contain the substring "&lt;No Value&gt; -&gt; 123.45 ").

It seems that the scripts convert the special characters to Escape Sequence. How to provent this and let the scripts compare the real character entities?



Thanks,

Vivian

    Seems to work for me...entered your text into notepad and ran the following code:






     var myObj = Sys.Process("notepad").Window("Notepad", "Untitled - Notepad", 1).Window("Edit", "", 1);


     aqObject.CheckProperty(myObj,"wText",0,"<No Value> -> 123.45");
