Re: Checkpoint varification using varaibles and/or parameters
Hi Marsha, Thanks for your reply. The overall objective of the test is to verify that rows of data is added automatically every 15 min to a GridView. Each row has a timestamp. Please see attached screenshot. When i recorded the test, i added a Property Checkpoint and clicked on the timestamt of the first row. This will replay successfully as long as the particular row i visible in the grid, even if new rows are added on the top. However, this is not what i want. I want to compare the timestamp of the top row with the system clock and verify that the timestamp is 15 min or less behind the system clock. I guess there are two approches to this: 1) From the current value of the system clock, calculate what the timestamp of the top row should be, and then script wise modify the checkpoint value of the Text propery to the expected timestamp. The gameplan her was to save the calculate expected timestamp in a variable and then have checkpoint use this variable as its Text property value instead of the recorded value. As a step one i was manually setting the value of the expected timestamp in a varaiable, but i can't work out how to have the checkpoint use this vaiable. 2) Select the top row in the GridView, read the Text value of timestamp object and compare it with a calculated expected value. For this i was using a script approach (convereted the recorded KeywordTest (click on timestamp, verify it using a checkpoint): function VA_4_Read_Timestamp() { //Clicks the 'ReadingsGrid' grid cell at row 0, column 'Time stamp'. Aliases.VisionAir_Client.HwndSource_StartupWindowView.StartupWindowView.ReadingsGrid.ClickCell(0, "Time stamp"); //Checks whether the 'Text' property of the Aliases.VisionAir_Client.HwndSource_StartupWindowView.StartupWindowView.ActiveItemPart.GridViewRow.Textblock18012018133000 object equals '18/01/2018 13:30:00'. aqObject.CheckProperty(Aliases.VisionAir_Client.HwndSource_StartupWindowView.StartupWindowView.ActiveItemPart.GridViewRow.Textblock18012018133000, "Text", cmpEqual, "18/01/2018 13:30:00"); } I can see my way though adding a vaiable, calculating the expected timestamp value (manually sat for starters) and replacing the recorded value of the checkpoint "18/01/2018 13:30:00" with the vaiable name. However the recorded timestamp is encoded in the TextBlock object name, i.e. Textblock18012018133000, and changing that name makes the checkpoint fail. Regards Erik1.1KViews0likes0CommentsCheckpoint varification using varaibles and/or parameters
Hi, Rookie questions! In a KeywordTest i have a checkpoint that verifies a timestamp contained in a WPFControlText object. I want to replace the recorded timestamp with one in a variable (or parameter?). I have added both a project scope variable (varTimeStamp) and sat the value i want to use in the checkpoint validation. I then went to the NameMapping and locate the WPF object i.e."Textblock16012018110000". In the properties window i have three-dot-option next to the recorded value "16/01/2018 11:00:00" that opens the Edit dialog. In this dialog i change the Mode from Constant to Project Variable, and in the Variable list selected my varTimeStamp. This worked as expected until I changed the value of varTimeStamp - i.e the checkpoint passes nomatter the value of varTimeStamp as the valued used in NameMapping is newer updated. So this is NOT the proper way of doing it! Should i be using a parameter instead? I have checked the documentation, but can't find the answer to this problem. Appreciate any help and/or pointers.

Good to know, thanks. Actually i sort of experienced that, when i for starters sat UAC to second lowest. This made the UAC dialog not accopy the entire screen, but TC could not pick up the click on Yes. I then sat the UAC to the lowest, which simply lauches the setup file.2KViews0likes0Commentsexe file run as Admin monopolizes screen, so I can't record click on Yes
Hi, I'm new to TestComplete, so please bear with me :) I want to automate installation of a application, so i manually added the operation "Run TestedApp" as the first action in a KeywordTest which launches the setup.exe. My gameplan is to run this operation and then record the rest of the installation actions. Running the setup.exe file requires elevated rights and Windows prompts me for accepting by clicking Yes in the User Account Control dialog. However, this dialog monopolizes the screen and i can't start TC in recording mode and record the click on Yes when this dialog is displayed. I'm now thinking along the lines of using a small script that fires a click on the Yes button, but i don't know how to do this, and i don't know how to work out the name and other attributes of the Yes button when i can't activate the UI Spy in TC. Any help is greatly appreciated. ErikSolved2KViews0likes4Comments
