Mapping Table Rows by Cell value

[Lagencie]

Hello,

I have a table with dynamic table structure and I want to make a dynamic namemapping for the row with the cell(0,0) with the value 1 is this somehow possible?

This way I could have a namemapping which always goes on the first element in the table and from there i could just select cell 0,0 - 0,1 - 0,2 - 0,3 ... so that I work with the row like its a 0x1 table

Is there such a feature to support this?

In common, It is good to map only the table into NameMapping and have your methods to get the value or set the value.

Like below,

var tbl_Users = Aliases.mainpage.tbl_users;
tbl_Users.wValue(0,1); //to get the values
tbl_Users.wColumn(0);//to get the column name

Lot more options based on your Table techonology

Hi,

Cells in classic HTML tables can be addressed using .Cell(i, j) syntax and TestComplete's Table object provides several other methods/properties (mentioned by @shankar_r).

The bad news is that HTML tables are seldom used in 'modern smart and fancy' web applications and usually are emulated via other UI elements (like divs, etc.) positioned via CSS or the like. So the chances are really high that you will have to create your own set of custom helper functions that will make it possible to search/navigate/paginate/etc. within your given table.
