find a texblock object exist in the application

Hi,



1. You don't need to map this object to any type of control. Work with it via its native properties and methods in the way you'd do this inside your application.



2. Inspect this object in the Object Browser and see what property has the needed value ("Segment A1 (12:28)"). Then, use the Find method (see the "Find Method" help topic) to search for the object by this property.

I checked the object in the object browser: The following properties have



Name = WPFObject("TextBlock", "Segment A1 (12:28)", 2)



Text = Segment A1 (12:28)



WPFControlText = Segment A1 (12:28)



So I am doing the following way.



1. setting

set mysegment  =  frmNewsPlexMDI.MdiClient.frmMocoContainer.splitContainer1.SplitterPanel.mocoHost.HwndSource_AdornerDecorator.AdornerDecorator.AvalonAdapter.main.dockMain.gridContent.gridMain.Viewbox.Grid.MocoPanel.header.Border.Grid



2. getting cordinates

leftcordinate = mysegment.TextBlock(WPFcontroltext = "Segment A1 (12:28)").screenleft



3. MsgBox(leftcordinate)





But I get the message saying non-existent object. please suggest the correct way to do.

Hi,



As I said in my previous post, use the Find method. The first parameter is "Text", the second one is "Segment A1 (12:28)". You can find an example in the "Find Method" help topic.

I am doing the following way but I still get saying the object does not exist.  can you tell what may be wrong.

[FYI: the object I am trying find is something like this - WPFObject("TextBlock", "Segment A1 (12:28)", 2)  ]



step 1

set mysegment = Sys.Process("NewsFlex").WinFormsObject("frmNewsPlexMDI").WinFormsObject("MdiClient", "").WinFormsObject("frmMocoContainer").WinFormsObject("splitContainer1").WinFormsObject("SplitterPanel", "", 2).WinFormsObject("mocoHost").WPFObject("HwndSource: AdornerDecorator", "elementHost1").WPFObject("AdornerDecorator", "", 1).WPFObject("AvalonAdapter", "", 1).WPFObject("main").WPFObject("dockMain").WPFObject("gridContent").WPFObject("gridMain").WPFObject("Viewbox", "", 1).WPFObject("Grid", "", 1).WPFObject("MocoPanel", "", 1).WPFObject("header").WPFObject("Border", "", 1).WPFObject("Grid", "", 1)



step2

set pobject = mysegment.Find("WPFControlText","Segment A1 (12:28)",20)





step3

msgbox(pobject.Name)

Hi,



In which line do you get this error and what is the missing object (see the Remarks section of the error message in the log to figure this out)?

The error is in this line

set mysegment =
Sys.Process("NewsFlex").WinFormsObject("frmNewsPlexMDI").WinFormsObject("MdiClient",
"").WinFormsObject("frmMocoContainer").WinFormsObject("splitContainer1").WinFormsObject("SplitterPanel",
"", 2).WinFormsObject("mocoHost").WPFObject("HwndSource:
AdornerDecorator", "elementHost1").WPFObject("AdornerDecorator", "",
1).WPFObject("AvalonAdapter", "",
1).WPFObject("main").WPFObject("dockMain").WPFObject("gridContent").WPFObject("gridMain").WPFObject("Viewbox",
"", 1).WPFObject("Grid", "", 1).WPFObject("MocoPanel", "",
1).WPFObject("header").WPFObject("Border", "", 1).WPFObject("Grid", "",
1)



The object not found is "WPFControlText","Segment A1 (12:28)",20

Hi,



What text do you see in the Remarks section of the error message you get (see the "Test Log Pages and Panels" help topic)?
