Getting Textbox's value with Aliases

[tuanvinh1008]

Hi all,

I think my question is very simple. But I don't know why I can't get the value of textbox with this code

Aliases.AccountMain.gbAccountKeyDetails.txtNumber.get_Text();

it returns to an object. but I think it should return a string (the value of textbox). I also see the property (wText) contains the value that I want to get. But don't know how to get this property with Aliases.

Thanks,

Vinh

Hi @tuanvinh1008 

Thanks for posting. 

It can depend if the attributes are available in the control. 

I would use the property checkpoint operation. 

Using this wizard you can easily see what string based attributes are available to use. 

If your scripting you can convert the operation into a script however using the operation alone will give you insight into what attributes/properties to use

The above link shows how to conifgure property based checkpoints. 

Thanks

Thanks for reply

I solved this concern. I used the command

Aliases.control.wText instead of get_Text
