Opening a new tab in browser

Hello Nassim,

>>Is there any way to script pressing the combination key ctrl+t?

You can use the Keys action of any Page object for this purpose:

Sub ChromeNewTab

  ' Open a new tab in Chrome

  Call Sys.Process("chrome").Page("*").Keys("^t")

  ' Open a URL in the new tab

  Call Sys.Process("chrome").ToUrl("http://smartbear.com/")

End Sub

>>What if I have more than one browser windows open?

In TestComplete, all pages opened in all browser windows of Google Chrome belong to one (main) process: Sys.Process("chrome"). To address a particular window displaying the needed URL, you simply need to refer to the corresponding Page object.

Suppose, we have two browser windows, one displaying http://www.webkit.org/  and another displaying http://www.google.com/ and we need to open a new tab in the first window. Then, the script would be:

 

Sub ChromeNewTab2

  ' Open a new tab in Chrome

  Call Sys.Process("chrome").Page("http://www.webkit.org/").Keys("^t")

  ' Open a URL in the new tab

  Call Sys.Process("chrome").ToUrl("http://smartbear.com/")

End Sub

Regards.
