    Hi,

     

    > they simply instantiate the class ItemTextEventArgs tea = new ItemTextEventArgs(); 

    Generally speaking, the same is possible in TestComplete:

    -- You need to add the assembly that implements the ItemTextEventArgs class to the CLR Bridge as well as all required dependent assemblies;

    -- After that in the code completion window under dotNET node you should see the assembly, class name, its constructor (named as .zctor() ) and all other public methods provided by the class.

    Depending on your scripting language you should be able to write the code like this:

    var iteaClass = dotNET.<assembly>.ItemTextEventArgs.zctor();

    and use created class instance in your code.

     

    See https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/desktop/net/creating-class-instances.html and related help topics for more details.

    Hope this will help.

Hi,

Just a wild guess: what if you pass nil for these last two parameters?

Thank you, Alex. It doesn't like it. It will throw an "Unknown error". In fact I've tried quite a few combinations and this is the most "friendly" error I could get.

    Hi,

     

    Any chance to talk to developers and ask them for the code sample in C# ?

    Considering that the tested application in in C# and thus is accessible to TestComplete, I would expect that it will be possible to port their sample into DelphiScript.

      I did, Alex. The trouble is with the TextEventArgs parameter. For them is easy to define it with C#: they simply instantiate the class

      ItemTextEventArgs tea = new ItemTextEventArgs(); From as far as I know, this cannot be done within TestComplete. In fact I couldn't find this object ItemTextEventArgs, starting from VList object. The closest object that seems to have something in common with ItemTextEventArgs() is cachedLayoutEventArgs, which is always (Null Object).
      I'll keep on looking for.

        I've finally succeed. It took more than a month to figure out how is working: with Alex's last suggestions I've reached dotNET node. But even from dotNET node is not easy to get the instance of ItemTextEventArgs, using TestComplete manual (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/desktop/net/creating-class-instances.html), which doesn't work with my tested application.

        So, what does saved me was TestComplete message error, which was clear stated that it cannot convert the variable I was using to type 'Framework.UI.ItemTextEventArgs'. Later and by chance, I found this instances under dotNET node.

        So, this is how the function should look like:

        SelectedCellText:=ListViewdObj.GetCell(ListViewdObj.HeaderItems.Item[columnNo],lineNo,columnNo,Sys.Process('YourApplication').AppDomain('YourApplication.exe').dotNET.Framework_UI.ItemTextEventArgs.zctor(),'Excel');

        and it works for me(with Delphi script and TestComplete 14.91.341.7 x64).

        Now, SelectedCellText will be an object and the cell value will be SelectedCellText.OleValue

         

        Thank you!
