Hover Text for desktop applications

Hi, I have been trying to test the hover text for various buttons on the screen. I am not sure of what checkpoints to use for that. 

Note:

1. Since this is a desktop application, I cannot use the ImageRepository object. 

2. I am scripting in python and not using keyword tests.

    Are you able to use Object Spy tool to capture the tooltip?

      I can't locate the tooltip because the object disappears while trying to set a checkpoint.

      Is there any alternative to that?

    Use the Object Spy tool to create a name mapping for it first. You can then create a keyword action to perform a check point afterwards.

      What if I'm only working with scripts and not keyword tests? Can you walk me through the steps to add a check point into a python script?

    Oops, ignore my statement where I said "You can then create a keyword action to perform a check point" - got mixed up with another post I was responding to.

     

    You should use Property Checkpoints, but you need to first create a name mapping using Object Spy for your UI control.
