Identifying a Button by its tool tip

[SuperTester]

Hey guys,

I would like identify a button by its tool tip. However, the tool tip property (wText I think) is not found by test complete, but I can get the tool tip by using the java method getToolTipText().

Is there a way to configure a object in namemapping to get such that its identified by the result of a method and not by a property? Maybe there's a trick using conditional mode.Otherwise, I think I'd need to write a script. Something like,

function findObjWToolTip()
{
var myToolTip,myBtn,windowObj;
var buttons = windowObj.FindAll(['Name'], ['MJButton'], depth, True);
for (var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++)
{
if (buttons[i].getToolTipText() == myToolTip)

{
myBtn = buttons[i]

break;
}

}
}

Thanks in advance!

No to the level of my knowledge. So you'll have to stick to the code that you've mentioned.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your response.

Alright, I was just curious. The script method works perfectly fine.

Slightly off topic, but if I really wanted the  tool tip to be recognized as a property, could I do so with a custom plugin?

At least you may investigate and try: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/extending/custom-plugins.html
