Null value of the object

[swapna_gupta08]

Hi

I am working on verifying the value of the object which is null.

The code as below:

Code:

gPostPrice = Browser("Market Reports - Price").Page("Market Reports - Price").WebEdit("priceEntry.priceEntryLines[3].poste").GetROProperty("value")
msgbox gPostPrice
If IsNull(gPostPrice)  Then
msgbox("entering if")
Else
msgbox("entering else")
End If

The value of the object is BLANK so I considered as Null (which I may be wrong)

Now, when I put the if condition, the msgbox with "entering else" is displayed.

What am I doing wrong? Please help..........

Hi,

Instead of checking for NULL, check for "" (Empty)

Here the working script

Code:

A = Browser("AS Login").Page("AS Login").WebEdit("uname").GetROProperty("Value")
If A = ""  Then
    Msgbox ("Working")
End If

Hope this Helps..........

Thanks,

Hi Swapna,
there are 2 ways how you can handle this.
Method1:

Code:

gPostPrice = Browser("Market Reports - Price").Page("Market Reports - Price").WebEdit("priceEntry.priceEntryLines[3].poste").GetROProperty("value")
if gPostPrice=Empty Then
   msgbox "pass"
else
msgbox "fail"
endif

Method2:

Code:

If gPostPrice=vbnullstring Then
   msgbox "pass"
else
msgbox "fail"
endif

Let me know if you need any more info on this.
Thanks,

The conceptual idea is, Null and Empty are different. for exmaple consider "telephone_number" is a variable i have to assign the value. if its EMPTY means, i didnot asked the person for "telephone_number" so its EMPTY now, means value is not collected. Suppose that i asked the person about his "telephone_number" if he dont have any telephone means i can assign NULL to the "telephone_number".
