Hi Team, I am a beginner in TestComplete and coding too. Was creating one basic script and didnt know which method to use: I have data available in rows (example : 10 rows) and I have to iterate through these rows one by one and verify the row details and navigate to desired row to click on the element.I am unable to understand which method to use FindAll or Find Elements and what to define inside the method. can anyone help me on this. xpath - //table/tbody/tr - common for all rows

I suggest figuring out how to process one row first and then building the loop around that code.

Even though it looks the same to you, the button probably has a slightly different object name on the other page. You might not be able to call it "x" all the way through the test. It might need to be Page1x and Page2x and you check for enabled separately for the two.

Hi, > how should we verify that. Alas, web developers and web technologies are extremely ingenious these days in doing the same thing different ways. Even within one same web page. To disable some web element, this element itself may be disabled. Or its parent. Or parent of the parent. Different class may be applied. Or some custom attribute or attribute's value and so on. So you must either talk to developers and ask them how you can distinguish enabled element from disabled one or carefully inspect the element itself along with its parent(s) (if needed) in the Object Browser and figure out what makes this element to become disabled (state of some parent, class name, property, etc.) and use this finding in your code.

Hi, A side note: XPath is far not the best way to search for web elements in TestComplete's world unless you are considering cross-browser testing in the cloud (CrossBrowserTesting, BrowserStack, etc.). For the latter case you just have no other option. > class = "ui-button" and when it got disabled the property is updated as class = "ui-button disabled" Assuming I imagine the UI of your tested application correctly, you need to identify Next_Button using selector that does not rely on presence or absence of the 'disabled' substring in the value of the class property. Then you should check if class property contains 'disabled' substring, i.e. determine if the found button is enabled or not. And branch then appropriately.

A little more information would be helpful. What is your application written in? This will help determine what kind of table you have. A quick way to get some example code is to use the Record function and go through your steps manually. You can get a keyword test out of that and use Convert to Script to see the script equivalent. https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/creating/recording/index.html

    Did you try recording a test? What happened when you tried that?

Vars01 :

Hi,

Can you provide a screenshot of the html markup for the table and several its rows? (Or copy-paste it from browser's Developer tools)

Complimentary screenshot from the Object Browser in TestComplete that corresponds to the same table might help as well.

  Thanks for the reply. It worked for me I am able to select the desired row and click on it. I have used do while loop so if the condition is false then also the element should be verified once.
  I have one additional doubt here - if we have button which is enabled in one screen but disabled in another screen how should we verify that. I am putting a condition in while loop as mentioned "while(x.Enabled == true)". but my loop is not stopping even though the button has become false. Is there any solution to check this.
