Testing Telerik Tree View controls

Hi,

I'm slightly confused as to the best way to test Telerik TreeView items. I want to be able to reference them via their index like I have done for Winforms TreeViews e.g.

Set ORGANISATION_ITEM = HIERARCHY_TREEVIEW.wItems.Item(1) 

Set Item = Items.Item(i)



I have Test Complete 9 installed and both Telerik plugins. When I record a test, the aliases are mapped, hardcoded by their names as you can see from the attachment called TreeViewNode.

In the Object mapping properties, I have added the class name as shown in the attachment.



What is the best way of locating nodes in the Telerik TreeView?



Thanks in advance!

Jo

    Note, when I record a script and click some of the tree view items, the itmes are being recognised in the format below:

    Call radTreeViewItem.Click(53, 9)

    Call radTreeViewItem.Radtreeviewitem1234567890PalantirFieldComm.Click(73, 12)


    Call radTreeViewItem.RadTreeViewItem.Click(85, 13)


    which isn't create becasue I means I have to know what is in the TreeView before testing.

    Hello,


    Are you testing a WPF application? Please note that TestComplete does not provide support for Telerik controls in WPF applications.

    If you are interested in implementing special support for the Telerik TreeView control for WPF applications, you can vote for this control on the TestComplete Feature Survey page of our web site:

    http://smartbear.com/products/qa-tools/automated-testing/survey/


    To access tree view items by their indexes in your tests, you can use the native Items property of the Telerik TreeView control.

    You can also try to command TestComplete to recognize your Telerik TreeView control as a WPF TreeView control by adding the Telerik TreeView control class name (Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTreeView) to the WPF Control | Tree view group and the Telerik TreeView item class name (Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTreeViewItem) to the WPF Control | Tree view | Tree view Item group of your project's Object Mapping options. You can find more information on this in the Recognizing Custom Controls section of the WPF TreeView Support Help topic.


    Please let us know if this information does not help, or if you need anymore assistance.

    Thank you.

    Hi Julia,



    Thanks for getting back to me.

    Yes, this is Telerik in a WPF application.

    Do you mean that I can or cannot use the the native Items property in this case? (or the other example)?



    Thanks,

    Joanne

    Joanne,


    So does this not include WPF? -http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/31621/


    No, the list of supported Telerik controls does not include WPF controls. TestComplete supports Telerik controls only for Windows Forms, Silverlight and ASP.NET applications.


    Do you mean that I can or cannot use the native Items property in this case? (or the other example)?


    Yes, to test your control, you can try using one of the workarounds I mentioned in my previous post: either work with your control by using its native properties and methods (they are listed in the .NET, private, protected and public categories in the Object Browser), or make TestComplete recognize your Telerik TreeView control as a standard WPF tree view control.


    If you have any additional questions or need anymore assistance, please let us know.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I am still having some problems with getting testComplete to recognise the Telerik controls in WPF.

    In the current Project properties in Object Mapping I have set the following:

    Under WPF Controls then Tree View: Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTreeView

    Under Tree View Item: Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTreeViewItem



    When I then record a script I records it as follows:


    Set radTreeView = palantirDataflow.HwndSource_Shell.Shell.Grid.TabControl.MainHierarchyView.Border.Grid.Grid.ContentControl.HierarchyEditorView.Grid.DockPanel.tvwDocuments



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")




    For a winforms tree view in a different application I am able to do the following:


    Set



    OpenResultSetExplorer = navigationPane.resultSetsPane.ResultSetTreeView.panel1.tvwResultSets

    Then:

     Set treeView = OpenResultSetExplorer ()

    Then I reference the TreeView using

    TreeView.wItems,



    Call



    treeView.DblClickItem("|Root|"



    etc.

    When i try to do treeView.DblClickItem("|Item name|" for the Teleric tree view this is not recognised.

    Do anyone has any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Joanne

    Hi Tanya,

    Yes I have tried this but it doesn't seem to work:


    Call



    HIERARCHY_TREEVIEW.ClickItem("Shell")




    produces the following error attached.



    Also I notice when I record a script it records as the following from clicking on different nodes in the tree view:


    Set radTreeView = palantirDataflow.HwndSource_Shell.Shell.Grid.TabControl.MainHierarchyView.Border.Grid.Grid.ContentControl.HierarchyEditorView.Grid.DockPanel.tvwDocuments



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItemR("")

    Hi Nugent,


     


    It looks like some custom object is used to fill in items in your tree. Could you please contact our Support team and provide them with a sample application containing the control so that they could investigate this behavior?

    Hi Tanya,

    I can't attach our actual application but I have attached a sample. This gives you some indication of the problem.If you run record on this, you can see that the RadTreeView is displayed in the name mapping. This looks like it may have worked because it is not created a seperate entry per tree view item like our application does.

    But looking at the recorded script, it has done the following (whereas I would expect it to pick up the name of the tree view item (like our winforms application tests do):


    Sub



    Test8



    Dim radTreeView



    Set radTreeView =



     



    Aliases.TestTreeView.HwndSource_MainWindow.MainWindow.Grid.RadTreeView



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    Call radTreeView.ClickItem("")



    End



    Sub

    I'm not sure if the attached application truly explainsa out problem though because the name mapping is different.

    I have attached what happens in our actual application (namemappingapplication).

    Woulds it be possible that someone in TestComplete support can contact me and I can show them the problem if they cannot reproduce this?

    Thanks,

    Joanne
