Keyword Test, Webpage Scroll Down

I'm attempting to create a keyword test to validate a web application.  The application requires scrolling to see all of the visible webpage, and complete a form.  How can I insert a scroll into the keyword test?  TC can't read the scroll bar as a object.  Thank you.

  • I believe the syntax would be:

    TheObjectNameVerifiedUsingTheDisplayObjectSpyButton.ScrollIntoView()

     

    You can pass true or false in as an argument too.

  • "ScrollIntoView" is a method usually available on objects when scripting. Not sure if/how you use it in keyword tests though?

     

    And Chrome has a "MouseWheel" method you could use on the Page object to cause it to scroll. Although I don't know how you'd determine the accuracy - ie. how you'd know when your desired object was in view?

     

    Maybe (pseudocode)

     

    Start Loop
    
      Look for Object
    
      Object Found/visible?
        Yes - Exit Loop
        No - Small scroll via mousewheel
    
    End Loop

      I'm not a programmer, which is why I'm attempting to use keyword testing.  

      Regarding the MouseWheel, if I knew scrolling down 6x got the bottom of the page, maybe I could use that?

        Actually you don't need to scroll web page to fill the form, because if some input element is presented on the web page, it should be visible for TestComplete.

      If I was to use the 'ScrollIntoView' method, would the proper syntax be:

       

      ScrollIntoView.TheObjectNameVerifiedUsingTheDisplayObjectSpyButton
