FieldByName returns integer instead of money

Hello,

I need to get cell's value from a table. I use the following line:
Qry.FieldByName(paramName).Value;

 

The problem is the value is "223,00" or similar, but I always get "223".

Everything works fine if the value is integer.

 

(Qry.FieldByName(paramName).AsFloat does not work)

    Your issue here is that no matter what you type you set the variable to (if using KW) TC will ALWAYS read values as a string

     

    you can try using aqConvert to cast your string to a float

     

    https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqconvert/strtofloat.html

     

    let amount = Qry.FieldByName(paramName).Value;

    Log.Message(aqConvert.StrToFloat(amount));

     

    or

     

    Log.Message(aqConvert.StrToFloat("Qry.FieldByName(paramName).Value"));

      Unfortunately, none of above works. I still get values as "235" instead "235,00" etc.

      I don't think that the problem is TC reading values as strings. I think that function "FieldByName" is a problem but I have no idea how to replace it.

        Try using the Object spy on the field, you should be able to see what properties are in the field

         

        maybe 

        - contentText

        - wtext

         

        may be better suited ?
