how do I use to get text area?

[tranthu991]

I am a beginner in QT. I used to use winrunner but in QT is hard to use get text area. What command and how do I get the coordinate. Please advise. Thanks

did you try .GetVisibleText() ? i don't remember if that is an option for a Textarea object, but I have used it other objects to get the full text.

Hi ,
You can use the.GetRoProperty("value") to fetch the value from the textarea

---

Sorry that was to fetch the value in text arer , your query is related to fetch the coordinates of the text area

Code:

.GetRoProperty("x")--x coordinate x1
.GetRoProperty("y")--y coordinate y1
.GetRoProperty("width")---
.GetRoProperty("height")---
x2=x1+width
y2=y
x3=x1
y3=y1+height
x4=x2
y4=y3

Text Area is bit blant. There are 2 ways,

1. Text Area checkpoint.
2. Spy on the object, go to the TO Properties and see which property holds the text ( if your text area means that ). Use GetRoProperty("property_name") to retrieve the text.
3. GetVisibleText if available as a method can be used. This is majorly available for .Net based objects, however, if it is available for web objects then you should be able to use it.
