Checking Tooltip

[pmahesha]

Sir,

I have one difficulty in checking the tootip.



I am able to hover the mouse pointer over the command button from test complete and it does show the tooltip window. But how do I read the tooltip window propertiey? I do not know the window name of the tooltip window and I will have to read from script only. The moment I remove the mouse pointer, tool tip vanishes. So I am not sure how to test for tooltips.

Hi,



You can find an example here.

Hi,

The link to the answer which you've posted, no longer exists (obviously because it was posted 7 years ago).

Can you add the correct link/answer to this question?

Best,

The link seems to work correclty. In case you cannot open it, here is the text:

Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista

The sample script obtains all tooltips of the specified control and posts information about them to the Test Log. Before you execute the script, add the *tooltips_class32* class to the Win32 Controls and Windows | Edit box list in the Object Mapping settings of your TestComplete project. When executing the script, you need to hover the mouse pointer over a control containing tooltips (to make the tooltips be displayed on the screen).

VBScript

Sub Test
  Dim i, p, w, startTime, timeout, tooltips, tooltip, tooltipText, tooltipFound
  
  timeout = 30000
  
  Set p = Sys.Process("PROCESS_NAME")
  Set tooltipsText = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")  
  startTime = GetTickCount()
  Do 
    Call p.Refresh()
    Set tooltips = GetTooltips(p)
    For i = 0 to tooltips.Count - 1
      Set tooltip = tooltips.Item(i)
      If (tooltip.Visible) Then
        If (aqObject.IsSupported(tooltip, "wText")) Then
          If ("" <> tooltip.wText) Then
            Call tooltipsText.Add(tooltipsText.Count, tooltip.wText)
          End If
        ElseIf (aqObject.IsSupported(tooltip, "Text")) Then
          If ("" <> tooltip.AccessibleName) Then
            Call tooltipsText.Add(tooltipsText.Count, tooltip.AccessibleName)
          End If
        End If
      End If
    Next
  Loop While ((0 = tooltipsText.Count)  And (timeout > GetTickCount() - startTime))  
   
  For i = 0 to tooltipsText.Count - 1 
    Call Log.Message("The text of tooltip #" & i &_
                     " is:" & vbCrLf & tooltipsText.Item(i))
  Next
End Sub
 
Function GetTooltips(p)
  Dim i, objectIndex, tempObjects, tooltips
  
  Set tooltips = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")   
  For i = 0 To 1
    Select Case i  
      case 0  tempObjects = p.FindAllChildren("WndClass", "*tooltips_class32*")
      case 1  tempObjects = p.FindAllChildren("ClrClassName", "ToolTipFormEx")
      Case Else  Log.Error("The " & i & " index is not known")
    End Select
    For objectIndex = 0 To UBound(tempObjects)
      Call tooltips.Add(tooltips.Count, tempObjects(objectIndex))     
    Next
  Next
  Set GetTooltips = tooltips
