I have a region checkpoint that works as expected. I want to include this checkpoint in a Data Driven Loop but the operation (to check "CAD") would be a dynamic variable in the look and have an associated stored region with the same title. e.g. ScreenName (var) Region (FileName) CAA CAA.png CAB CAB.png CAC CAC.png CAD CAD.png Keyword test design Does anyone know how the change the Keyword test region operation into a dynamic var failing this, how could this be accomplished in script ?

Lee_M You will first have to set up 2 Project level variables. The spreadsheet variable should contain a column with the names of the images from the regions section of TestComplete. Next you will have to add the following steps to your keyword test - inside the datadriven loop: Set Variable Value: Code Snippet : Regions.Items(Project.Variables.Var1).Check(Aliases.browser.pageEvaluateFunctionTestcomplete.panel) Hopefully this helps - let me know if you have any additional questions.

Region Checkpoints in Data Driven loops

I have a region checkpoint that works as expected.

I want to include this checkpoint in a Data Driven Loop but the operation (to check "CAD") would be a dynamic variable in the look and have an associated stored region with the same title.

e.g.

ScreenName (var)	Region (FileName)
CAA	CAA.png
CAB	CAB.png
CAC	CAC.png
CAD	CAD.png

Keyword test design

Does anyone know how the change the Keyword test region operation into a dynamic var

failing this, how could this be accomplished in script ?

Set Variable Value:

Code Snippet : Regions.Items(Project.Variables.Var1).Check(Aliases.browser.pageEvaluateFunctionTestcomplete.panel)

  Thanks for the suggestion and the quick reply,
  
  I will test this later tomorrow but this appears a well explained suggestion that will hopefully work.
  
  Side note:
  
  It would be nice to see a future version of TestComplete with the region Checkpoint able to accept variables by clicking of the elispsis like other TC functions

  I have more errors now but they are beyond this question and more about checkpoints not matching
  
  Your answer was a great and does what I needed
  
  Going one step further, elimating the second variable (Var1) and referencing directly within the loop:
  
  Code Snippet : Regions.Items(Project.Variables.Var2.value("RegionName")).Check(Aliases.browser.pageEvaluateFunctionTestcomplete.panel)

I've used the javascript "eval" function for this in the past to run random keyword tests from our suite.

  in Keyword or script ?
  
  how did you do this ?
  
  eval(var = project.regions.var)
