Checking the background color of an object on my GUI application

[betty1]

I am new to TestComplete and working with Keyword Tests to test my GUI application.  I want to see if a button on my screen is red, yellow, or green.  I can do a property checkpoint on each of the color properties (e.g. button is red):

Aliases.XXX_ShellView.ShellView.LayoutDocumentPaneControl.RXLed_C.Fill.GradientStops.zcollection.zlistStore.zentry0.Color, "B", 0, 0, True

Aliases.XXX_ShellView.ShellView.LayoutDocumentPaneControl.RXLed_C.Fill.GradientStops.zcollection.zlistStore.zentry0.Color, "G", 0, 0, True

Aliases.XXX_ShellView.ShellView.LayoutDocumentPaneControl.RXLed_C.Fill.GradientStops.zcollection.zlistStore.zentry0.Color, "R", 0, 255, True

But I don't see how to check the AND of those conditions.  Again, I am new to Keyword Tests, but there has to be a way to do this, right?

Hi,

I am not sure that I got the question...

Are you looking for how to check that the button's background is red and green and yellow at the same time?

Anyway, I think that you should look at the Run Code Snippet keyword operation (or Run Script Routine one).

I apologize for being unclear.  I am simply trying to detect the color of a button on my WPF GUI.  For example, if the following checkpoints all pass, the color is YELLOW (the ..X replaces the long object path)

Property Checkpoint 1

..X.RXLed_C.Fill.GradientStops.zcollection.zlistStore.zentry0.Color, "B", cmpEqual, 0.. 

Property Checkpoint 2:

..X.RXLed_C.Fill.GradientStops.zcollection.zlistStore.zentry0.Color, "G", cmpEqual, 255...

Property Checkpoint 3:

..X.RXLed_C.Fill.GradientStops.zcollection.zlistStore.zentry0.Color, "R", cmpEqual, 255.. 

These will each fail individually if they evaluate to False, but I was looking for a way to evaluate all 3 in the same step or better yet to get the 3 object properties and then I can manipulate them with an IF-Then.

I could not find a way to get those particular properties.  I am very new to TestComplete, so I just assumed there is an easier way and I haven't found it yet.  Thanks for the help.

Hi @betty1,

Explore your control in the Object Browser - perhaps it provides a native property (like, Background color or Color) that you can call from script.

If this doesn't help, take a look at the following KB article:

Also, I've found several threads with a similar question:

I hope it helps.
