Hi Sreedevi,

Have you tried searching this forum? there are many threads discussed on the same topic.

try this example which is for a link object

Code:

Browser("").Page("").Frame("").Link("").mouseover
wait 2
tooltip = Window("nativeclass:=tooltips_class32").GetROProperty("text")
msgbox tooltip

or if you can see the tooltiptext in the properties list of object at spy then you can try with this as well

Code:

Browser("").Page("").Frame("").Link("").GetROProperty("TooltipText")

does this help?

HI Saket,

Thanks for ur quick reply..
However, i want to know if we can move the mouse over the specific objects on the screen using VBScript. This is because the code above can be used when the mouse is placed over the object required. Manaul interference is needed for the above code... Plz help in case if have answer..

Regards,

Changing the replay type to mouse should solve the issue
use below code before the statements

Code:

Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 2

again make it back to event setting the type to 1

Hi,
U could use

Code:

m=Browser("xxxx").page("xxx").frame("xxxx") .Getrowproperty("alt")
if m= "Tool tip" then msgbox "Pass"
else
msgbox"Fail"

Saket's suggestion should work if the application you are working is a Web Based. Else it doesnt make a difference.

If you are working on something for which you know the co-ordinates of the object then you can exploit user32.dll to get a method called SetCursorPos to the co-ordinate and then use

Code:

tooltip = Window("nativeclass:=tooltips_class32").GetROProperty("text")
msgbox tooltip

I have posted the solution on this forum several times. Search using SetCursorPos and you will get the solution.
