What does a table checkpoint contain ?

Hi Guillaume,

Actually, this is not a hexadecimal. That's why, the converter you used didn't give you the correct data. TestComplete uses special encoding for storing internal data.

What does this binary contains ?

This binary contains table data used by the checkpoint.

Is there a way to be able to get readable source from what might be a binary source ?

Can you please explain me why you need to do this?

Thanks.

Hi Irina.



Thanks for the answer and the explanation.



Why do I want to be able to read from this binary sources ?

Well as I said, I am curious and I like to know everything my program is doing...



Concerning the table checkpoint, let's say for instance, I want to update a checkpoint.

I don't have the application running any more and I know that some data have been added in the datagrid content I am testing.



How can I add a new row in the table checkpoint ?

Note that I don't want to use the "update" operation. I want to do that outside an execution.



To solve my problem, I started to look at the Table Checkpoint file generated by TC.

I found out that the data was stored using some compilation or something resulting in a binary data.



Thus, I was wondering if there is a way to extract original table data from binary sources.

In this case, for instance, I could simply add a new line in the XML data node and expect TC to handle additional information.



In our team, we have already implemented several custom checkpoints or on-screen-action using the scripts extensions mechanism.

We are also planning to to something similar as TC TableCheckpoint for Web HTML table purpose (similar to grid).

I was somehow expecting to be able to inherit TableCheckpoint and make it compatible for us.



Best regards,



Guillaume.

Hi again.



So I guess there is no solution for my problem so far ?
