Problems with the EXISTS method in TestComplete V9
I had some issues with the EXISTS method in terms of dealing with modal lists of an application (test object). Somehow the EXISTS method may not deliver the correct information, whether the object is available or not. In terms of misleading information the test process may run into an error. I found a solution based on AliasObjects and direct accessing of the list. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub selectList (Caption, Action) Dim Selection ' Define object ' If it is available, Selection contains the object otherwise an empty object ' WNCode is just a variable to cover several versions of the test object without ' the need of code adaptation Set Selection = Sys.Process("za").WaitWindow("FNWNS"+WNCode,Caption,-1,1000) ' a mixture of AliasObjects |-> Aliases.za.wndSelect...| and ' direct coding |-> Sys.Process("za").WaitWindow("FNWNS"+WNCode...| ' of the GUI objects avoids / bypasses ' the weakness of the EXISTS method in the TestComplete V9 ' the following lines work: it deals with no, one or multiple list(s), which ' may occur whilst user interaction While (Aliases.za.wndSelect.Exists) ' Exists works solely fine with the AliasObjects! Aliases.za.wndSelect.SetFocus Aliases.za.wndSelect.Keys(Action) Set selection = Sys.Process("za").WaitWindow("FNWNS"+WNCode,Caption,-1,1000) Wend End Sub --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Solved3KViews0likes4Comments
