How to get the text of an email from MS Outlook Folder
I have been struggling with getting some text out of an email message the is in one of my MS Outlook folders. On the surface it would seem that recording the actions to select the email in a running instance of MS Outlook, copy the required text to the clipboard and then paste it in to a textbox in a web application running in Internet Explorer would be the way to go. The answer is yes and no. Recording the actions is one thing but getting the selected text out of Outlook is another. I have tried all ways - including right clicking the selected text, followed by selecting Copy from the context menu that pops up. I've also tried coding the keys for CTRL+C. Neither way works reliably and it is the Outlook end of thinks that is unreliable. Pasting what is in the clipboard is no problem. I've scrolled through forum posts and help files, etc and cannot crack this problem no matter what I try. I suspect I have to deal with MS Outlook as an object in some way but being a novice at this I could do with somew help. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create a script in which a button click on a web page will take me to one of two other web pages. Which web page the button click takes me to depends on an algorithm I have no knowledge of nor do I need to know. Thus far I've had no success in trying things out for myself, nor can I find what I'm looking for in the Help or online. My scenario is that I'm on Page A and click the Submit button. Depending on the algorithm this will take me to Page B where I want to do some processing OR to Page C where I want to do some other processing. As it happens a button click on Page B will take me on to Page C. It would be very much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction for solving this problem. Thanks in advance.Solved6KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Issue with opening web page in Chrome
Jeff C, Thanks for the advice which helped me on some subsequent issues. In this case it turned out to be the fault of Chrome being zealous with security. Chrome had disabled the TestComplete Extension. Once I re-enabled the extension things worked.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsIssue with opening web page in Chrome
I'm using TestComplete 9.30 so it's got the Chrome 27 patches. Even so, Chrome is still breaking my script for opening a website. IE opens with about:blank highlighted in the address bar, which is overwritten by the URL I want to go to and the script proceeds happily to open the requested web page. Firefox opens with an empty address bar in to which the URL I want to go to and the script proceeds happily to open the requested web page. Safari opens with an empty address bar in to which the URL I want to go to and the script proceeds happily to open the requested web page. Chrome opens with about:blank in the address bar, but it is not highlighted. As a consequence the script does not insert the URL I want to go to and ultimatey fails with an error. I've tried a few things as suggested in Support's online documentation but nothing seems to work. So, being new to TestComplete and being just a bit rusty using VBScript, I would very much appreciate it if someone could enlighten me as to how I get Chrome to display the web page in the same way that IE, Firefox and Safari have no problem with doing. Thanks in advance.Solved7.2KViews0likes2Comments
