I am not able to identy scroll with object spy but I am able to identify panel in which scroll is placed. What all methods are there to scroll within a panel?

    Hi!

     

    It's a bit strange that listobj.ClickItem(2) does not work for you. It seems that scrollIntoView in this case might be still scrolling when TestComplete is performing ClickItem which causes TC to miss. You can try to put a little delay between the calls (Delay(1000) for instance) and see if it helps.

     

    Another way to perform a scroll within a panel is to use its scrollLeft / scrollTop properties. See HTML DOM scrollTop Property. Be aware that you will be scrolling a content of the panel not the panel itself.

     

    Hope this helps,

    UnveN.

I find using the following more reliable and accurate

panelCtl00Scrollablepanel | MouseWheel  | -2, ... 

 

Simulates a mouse wheel rotation. Delta indicates the distance the wheel is rotated (a positive value indicates that the wheel was rotated forward, away from the user; a negative value indicates that the wheel was rotated backward, toward the user).

 

a minus figure scrolls down basically and a postive figure scrolls up. Increase the number to increase the distance scrolled.

Thanks pclarke.

 

MouseWheel  worked for me.

 

JScript snippet to scroll down by 3 position using mouse wheel is :

 

Sys.Browser(*).Page(*).Panel(0).Panel(0).Form("collapse_form").Panel(0).MouseWheel(-3) ;
