How to enter two integers using SetText method

I am using Python scripting with TestComplete and I am hitting an issue.  I have a textbox in which I would like to enter two numeric values separated by a comma (i.e., 35, 50).  The closest method I...

    I'm not incredibly familiar with python so the syntax may be off.  Basically, you're going to need to concatenate those as strings... yes, I know they are integers, but SetText takes a string parameter so you're going to need to convert them to strings and then concatenate the strings.

     

    It MIGHT look something like this

     

    def Test1():
a = 35
b = 50
coords = aqConvert.IntToStr(a) + ','+aqConvert.IntToStr(b)
Aliases.CoordinatesTextBox.SetText(coords)

    I THINK it would simply be something like below... again, I'm not extremely familiar with Python so, from the little I've gleaned, this SHOULD work.

     

    def Test1(xCord, yCord):
coords = aqConvert.IntToStr(xCord) + ','+aqConvert.IntToStr(yCord)
Aliases.CoordinatesTextBox.SetText(coords)

Robert - excellent!  That worked!

 

Taking this one step further, how would I setup Test1 so that I could pass in a and b as parameters ?  I would like to be able to write Test1(35,50) and have it enter 35,50 into the textbox field.
