Read Qt text color in TestComplete

Greetings:



I am trying to read the color of text displayed by a Qt application using TestComplete and I'm not having much luck.  I've tried multiple auto complete options for the font, palette and style sheet properties of the label and in most cases I recieve an error.

For example:




Set Screen = <NameMapped Label>

Color = Screen.QWidget_palette.QPalette_color

Log.Message("Text color is: " & Color)



Any tips on how to access the color propert of a test string would be appreciated.

    Hi Eero,


     


    Try using the following code:




     function getColor()


     {


      var lbl = Sys.Process("TextColor").QtObject("TextColorClass").QtObject("label"); 


      var role = lbl.QWidget_foregroundRole();


      var color = lbl.palette.QPalette_color(role);


      Log.Message(color.QColor_value());


     }

    Hi Tanya,



    Thanks for your help, the code got me on the right track.  I did change from QColor_value() to QColor_name().  QColor_value() was only giving me the R value, but QColor_name() gave me the full value in hex, eg for yellow text _value was logged as 237 whereas _name was logged as #ede574.



    Thanks again.
