Alternate to TextBoxObject.Value

Post by dal » Wed Sep 29, 2010 1:32 pm

Hi Team,

We are using

TextBoxObject.Value = "Sample Text" method to enter the values into a TextBox.

Usually the Buttons/CheckBoxes enables after entering the TextBox data are not getting enabled.

Any other way of entering the data to Text Boxes, we tried with Keyboard.press also still the buttons are not been enabled. Then tool is trying to click on the disabled button, which result in failure of the test.

Regards,
Dal...

Hi,

I think this depends on the event-handler of your control. Have you tried to click into the control with the mouse before you are entering the text? Maybe this will trigger the event of you control to enable the buttons.

Try to move the focus away from the TextBox after you Keyboard.Press text into it. Easy way is to Press 'Tab' button.

Have used the following code...:

TextBoxObject.Click
Keyboard.Press("Sample Text")
Keyboard.Press({TAB})

which enables the Buttons / Checkboxes underneeth the TextBox.

Why does {TAB} work...
In the event handler of the control, there is an event like FocusLost - its here that the code lives to enable the check boxes!
