how to select the random list from lslist table. it is string values

[GAutomation]

Function Selectvalue()
if Trim(UCASE(curobj.Exists))= "TRUE" then
Set recgText = OCR.Recognize.curobj
If recgText.BlockCount > 0 Then
Log.AppendFolder("Recognized text by blocks")
For i = 0 To int(recgText.FullText)
Randomize
Log.Message(recg.Block(i).Click)
Next
Log.PopLogFolder
End If
End Function
 
 
 
It gives me cannot convert string value. i want to select a random value from the listtable.

Full text has a method 

Blockbytext and checktext

Tried the below code

min =1

max =aqstring.Getlength(curobject.fulltext)

randomize

rand=Int(max-min+1)*Rnd+min)

log.message(curobject.block(rand).blockbytext)

did not work as fulltext will need a string

also tried converting that to string still no luck.

Hi,

This is something that you must investigate yourself using Object Browser and talking to your developers. Just because we know nothing about your tested application.

> Full text has a method [...]

> fulltext will need a string [...]

From what I can see on the previously provided screenshot:

-- FullText is a property, thus it does not have any methods;

-- FullText is a property and seems already be of string type;

Assuming that

max =aqstring.Getlength(curobject.fulltext)

line of code returns correct number of lines,

does this line returns correct line of FullText property

log.message(aqString.GetListItem(curobject.FullText, rand) ?

If it does, then the only thing you should do if to figure-out how to click correct line in the list (or navigate to it using keyboard by pressing Down Arrow key and confirming selection by pressing Enter key).

Alternative approach that often works for custom or not supported controls is to talk to developers and ask if the required action (selection of list item in your case) can be done using native methods available from the Methods tab in the Object Browser.

Thanks Alex. I will check with the developer. i did previously tried the option aqString.GetListItem(curobject.FullText, rand) it gave me the one or more aruguments out of range. so ldid not continue with that.

Hi,

> it gave me the one or more aruguments out of range.

My guess is that the problem was with the value of the rand parameter.

It is my expectation that you generate rand within [1..<NoOfElements>] range while .GetListItem() method is zero based (i.e. it is in the [0..<NoOfElements> - 1] range), thus, if my guess is correct, then the code should be

aqString.GetListItem(curobject.FullText, rand - 1)
