WaitProperty or checkproperty

[jove1776]

Hi

I am a newbie here with QTP but would like to ask a question about checking text on a pop-up. The text says "MESSAGE: :File was successfully uploaded "

Also object spy says: <multi-line value>

Code:

Browser("_Maintenance").Dialog("Microsoft Internet Explorer").Static("MESSAGE: File was successfully").WaitProperty "text", "MESSAGE: File was successfully uploaded "

the is a space after the "uploaded"


OR

Browser("_Maintenance").Dialog("Microsoft Internet Explorer").Static("MESSAGE: File was successfully").CheckProperty "text", "MESSAGE: File was successfully uploaded "

Also

In the object repository the text property is set to:

MESSAGE: File was successfully uploaded

(guess there was a new line character there) so I set it (in the Object properties) to:

MESSAGE: File was successfully uploaded.*

and regular expression is ticked.

If I click locate in application it finds the text, except that when I run the code it doesn't seem to work.

Any pointers in where I am going wrong?

i think the problem is the new line character on the pop-up. i cant change this infortunately. if i set a watch on the text propert I SEE the little square character that normally denotes a newline.

Any ideas on how you check say the first 10 characters on the pop-up and no more? Instead of the whole string.

Hi, have you tried this

Code:

Browser("_Maintenance").Dialog("Microsoft Internet Explorer").Static("MESSAGE: File was successfully").CheckProperty "text", "MESSAGE: File was successfully.*"

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to respond. It does not work. The object repository, the text property: Do I need to update this property to be:
MESSAGE: File was successfully.*

also?

I will have to revisit my QTP notes as this little issue is driving me crazy

[KavitaPriyaCR]

yes, update that in OR also and try.

also I tried:

Code:

Browser("_Maintenance").Dialog("Microsoft Internet Explorer").Static("MESSAGE: File was successfully").CheckProperty "text", "/MESSAGE\: File was successfully\/n/"

Doesnt work

The error message says: Propert text is empty...

---

Seems to work with the following:

Code:

Browser("_Maintenance").Dialog("Microsoft Internet Explorer").Static("MESSAGE: File was successfully").WaitProperty "text", "MESSAGE: File was successfully uploaded" & vbNewLine & "", 1

This i need to brush up on this
