Trying to get Hex/RGB value of a color preview swatch, please help!

Hi everyone

 

In configuration page some colors are customizable. 

  • When clicked on any of the input fields, a color chooser pops up.
  • Selecting a color populates the field with the hex value.
  • The preview swatch updates to the selected color.

I am trying to access the hex value of the preview color. After some reading, this is what I came up with:

(I have noticed that swatch value shows up as Hex in Chrome but as RGB in IE!)

 

  var colorPrimary = page.QuerySelector(".evo-colorind");
  var style = page.contentDocument.defaultView.getComputedStyle(colorPrimary, "");
  Log.Message(style.background-color);

 

 

 

I am getting JavaScript runtime error 0x80020101 at 'style' var. Any help deeply appreciated.

    backgroundColor is not a method, it's the actual property.   So, just compare that property to the desired value.

        Glad it could help

         

        What stood out to me is that it appears the style they are picking up is "backgroundColor" rather than "background-color"

    I am surprised that even the Smartbear support team is surprisingly quiet! Does this mean there is no way TestComplete can do this!!?

      Actually, I think the difference is beyond even just whether or not it shows as RGB versus Hex...  I have a checkpoint set up that does something similar.... but the caveat that I have is that it will work with IE only.  I think the contentDocument property/object or some of the methods and properties of it are only available in IE.  That would be where I'd start, to put a breakpoint on that line and do some investigation as to why JavaScript is burping there...

        You are always there when I need help!  I almost gave up hope. I will give it a try tomorrow and let you know.
