Check SWFToolbar Button Enabled or Disabled in UFT

Hello All,

I am working on a .Net Application with QTP 9.2 and infragistics testadvantage 2006 Volume 1 VLR 2.0. I have a swftoolbar on which are certain buttons. I would like to check for a particular button wether it is enabled or disabled and then dependingly click on it. Here is how it records the toolbar,

Browser(“Browser”).page(“PAGE”).frame(“frame”).swfobject(“selection page”).swftoolbar(“tools”).clicktoolbartool “ToolBar”,”Btnclick”

I tried the .Net windows forms spy but i wasnt able to obtain any property which was helpful in finding the enable/disable property.

Can anyone please look through and revert back ASAP.

 

Thank you all for your help.

Regards,

Rob

Hi Rob,

To retrieve a property of a tool on the UltraToolBarsManager use the GetItemProperty method. This allows you to retrieve any public property off of the Tool object.  In the case of how to determine if the Tool is Enabled you can use the EnabledResolved property as shown below.

Set oTBManager = SwfWindow(“Root”).SwfToolbar(“_Root_Toolbars_Dock_Area_Top”)
strPathToTool = “RootMenu,V81,V81_WinListView”
strToolKey = “V81_WinListView_Size2Fit”
strPropertyName = “EnabledResolved”

oTBManager.GetItemProperty strPathToTool, strToolKey, strPropertyName

Hey Mike,

Million thanks to your reply. This was critical and i had to get through this. I am now confident that i am closer to the solution. However i feel there is something which is holding me from retrieving the property i need.

  This one buttons appearance when clicked and unclicked is different from the rest. I have attached a screenshot for reference. Now this button resides within a toolbar called “TopToolbar”. I tried the below,

itemstate=Browser(“Browser”).page(“page”).frame(“frame”).swfobject(“swfobject”).swftoolbar(“_m_main panel_Toolbars_dock_Are).GetItemProperty(“TopToolbar”,”btncheckpreference”,”EnabledResolved”)

this returns itemstate as True, when checked and when unchecked. So it really doesnt make a difference. I tried the one which you had sent and it throws the error as “ToolKey not found”. This is what i tried,

Set oTBmanager=Browser(“Browser”).page(“page”).frame(“frame”).swfobject(“swfobject”).swftoolbar(“_m_main panel_Toolbars_dock_Are)

strPathToTool=”TopToolbar”,V81,V81_btnCheckPreference”

strToolKey=”V81_btnCheckPreference_Size2Fit”

strPropertyName=”EnabledResolved”

itemstate=oTBmanager.GetItemProperty(strPathToTool,strToolKey,strPropertyName)

Please take a look at this and let me know what is the correct approach.

I wasnt able to attach the image. Any alternative ??

    EnabledResolved determines if the tool is enabled, not if it is checked. If you are able to click on, and interact with a tool than it is highly likely that it is not disabled and therefore EnabledResolved will return true, that is expected. Also the ToolPath and ToolKey I gave you previously was specific to a sample app on my machine, using it as a whole or in part will not work with your application because you would not have tools with that key or path. 

     What it sounds like is that you have a StateButtonTool, that you are trying to determine what state the button is in. In which case you can use the GetItemProperty method as I stated before, but instead use the property specific to StateButtonTools called Checked instead of EnabledResolved. As to the PathToTool and ToolKe, I would suggest recording a Click on the tool, this will give you the correct Path and Key for that tool.

 

Mike,

           Thank you for clearing the doubts. I tried recording on the toolbar button but it does not bring up any line of code for any of the buttons on the toolbar. I tried with the getitemproperty for checked but it says "Passed property name not found". Also i tried with various other properties associated, but in vain. I spoke to few developers and found that it is a statebuttontool but the property of the button being checked or unchecked is at the infragistics code level which they dont have access to.

Can you please take a look at it and let me know your thoughts.

 

Warm Regards,

Robert.

 Hi Robert,

     Looking back to your original post, you are using Windows components in a web environment, which is an unsupported environment. While it may work it is not gauranteed, I believe it not recording may be related to that. As to the property not found, if the tool is in fact a state button, Checked is a valid public property. It should be stated that GetItemProperty is case sensitive, so you must use it as Checked not checked. Let me know if that helps you.

 

Hey Mike,

                     I checked with the developers in here and they ascertained that it is a statebuttontool. I tried with several times with Checked and it would say that the property name is not correct. I am just heading towards a roadblock. Not sure how to go ahead with this issue.

 Any ideas Mikey ??

 At this point I would suggest you contact our developer support as they would be able to give a bit more of a hands on approach to assisting you with this matter.

Mike,

I contacted the developers at infragistics and they seem to resolve it at the “Checked” state. I am clueless now because we all converged at the same point. However he forwarded a few links which gave some inner details but i wasnt able to get it working. Would you please take a look at the link and see if you can help me out in any way.

I am unable to attach any image. Do i have a alternative on how to upload the .Net spy screenshot ??

Mike,

                 There is another method supplied alongwith Testadvantage for a toolbar called "GetSelection". I read through the help but i wasnt able to get it working.

a=Browser().page().frame().swfobject().swftoolbar().Getselection("TopToolbar")

msgbox a

It returns a blank. The statebutton i am trying to access is under a ToolbarsManager – TopToolbar – btncheckpreference. How do i supply the path for the Getselection method ???

Can you please take a look at it mike ?

 

   Again I would highly suggest you take this to Developer support, replay back to the email they sent, there you can attach your image and work it out in more detail with them. As to GetSelection, it will return a value for every Checked StateButtonTool in the toolbar. It would also have thrown an error if you supplied a path to a non-existant toolbar. The fact that it is not throwing an error means that you did supply a correct path to a valid toolbar, and that toolbar has no checked StateButtons in it. Now perhaps you actually do not have statebuttons, or they are not actually checked. I would try clicking on them and checking the value again. If the value doesn't change perhaps they are disabled, or they are not really state buttons, either way, at this point contact developer support.

Okay, After quite a lot of drill through i found the solution supported by YASSA from advancedQTP.

 

Set oTools=Browser("Brwsr").Page("Pg").Frame("Frame").SwfObject("obj").SwfToolbar("Toolbar").Object.ToolbarsManager  For i = 0 to oTools.Toolbars.item(1).Tools.Count-1   a=oTools.Toolbars.item(1).Tools.item(i).Key  msgbox a   If a = "btnPostit" Then 

  status=oTools.Toolbars.Item(1).Tools.Item(i).IsPressed

   msgbox status        Exit For    End IfNext
