Saving a value from Text Box

Hi, I have a WPF app which needs to be automated somehow :) I'm pretty much novice user of TestComplete, and especially in WPF.

So, here's my problem:

I have one readOnly textBox1, with value that changes.
I also have one more ReadOnly textbox with value which is also value that changes.

How can I save both of those values (separated ofc) so I could use them later.

[what i want to create after - save that value from TextBox1 as value1, on TextBox2 save another value as value2, and after that substract value1 and value2. That result compare with some TextBox3 etc... ]

Help :)

    Hi,

     

    You can do this by storing the value of the text box, in a variable. Please review the following video which will provide some further information on the steps done to achieve this

      Hi Damien and thank you so much for the tip!

      What you suggested could work if I would use that hardcoded string(if I understanded it correctly), but, in previous steps of my case, I have some script which generates random number and set it in that Textbox field.
      So, every time I start new test new value will be available... (after that I close edit form I have textBox as readOnly field)
      Any hints how could I save that in variable?
      Could I use some Code Expression perhaps?

      Thankx again!
