Re: TestComplete and Windows Forms MaskedTextBox
Figured it out: ''' <summary> ''' Simple wrapper around MaskedTextBox. Exists solely because MaskedTextBox does not respond to ''' WM_SETTEXT messages, and it needs to in order to be used with testing tools. ''' </summary> Friend NotInheritable Class MaskedTextBoxWrapper Inherits MaskedTextBox Private Const WM_SETTEXT As Integer = &HC Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef message As Message) If message.Msg = WM_SETTEXT Then Dim value As String = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(message.LParam) MyBase.Text = value End If MyBase.WndProc(message) End Sub End Class759Views1like0CommentsRe: TestComplete and Windows Forms MaskedTextBox
To be more specific, TestComplete picks the SetText operation, which does not do anything on a MaskedTextBox. Manually changing it to set the property (Text [Set]) works just fine, but doing that for every date field in our app is not happening, obviously. What, exactly, does SetText do under the hood? Can I perhaps hook into WndProc?771Views0likes0CommentsTestComplete and Windows Forms MaskedTextBox
- Create Windows Forms project, add a MaskedTextBox to the form, give it a date mask e.g. "09/09/0000". - Add a button, add this to the Click event handler MsgBox(MaskedTextBox1.Text) - Run, enter a date, click the button. You'll get a dialog showing the value. Now do the same in a recorded TestComplete project. The value is set on-screen, but the value in the dialog is blank! I'm evaluating TestComplete, and this sinks us pretty hard. My guess is that this is a bug in the MaskedTextBox, not necessarily TestComplete, but not working is not working... Any ideas?10KViews0likes2Comments
