    Yeah so the method worked, I was able to obtain the webEngine and its document. I've just got to work out how to find the elements on the page and interact with them.

    This is the code I used, web_page was defined earlier and is the fullName of the WebView object in object spy.

    web_engine = web_page.getEngine()

    doc = web_engine.getDocument()

The solution provided is language agnostic.  If you adapt it to Python syntax, best I can tell, it should still work.

Hi Robert,

 

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any ideas of how I would access the WebEngine object or find the name of it? Is this something that would come up in object spy or should I just try and set a variable to equal to xx.getEngine() and see how it goes?

 

Kind regards,

Dineth

    Based upon my minimal knowledge, getEngine is a native method of the web view object.  So, it's not part of TestComplete or anything.  If you have a webview object, it should have the getEngine method.  So... give it a try.

        Hi Sonya,

         

        I've been off work the past few days and haven't had a chance to try it yet. I'm going to have a look at it this week and I'll let you know how I get on.

         

        Kind regards,
