Code check- Random number - swetha.b - 12-17-2009

Hi All,

Please have a look at my code given below:

Code:
1. For i = 1 to 3

2. Mrkt = Browser("TalonPro Solutions").Page("TalonPro Solutions").WebList("Market").GetTOProperty("items count")

[color=#32CD32]'trying to get number of items in the Market list.[/color]

    wait(5)

3. Browser("TalonPro Solutions").Page("TalonPro Solutions").WebList("Market").Select RandomNumber(1, Mrkt )

[color]'Selecting a random number for the list Market in the range 1 to Mrkt (variable defined in the earlier set)[/color]

    wait(5)

4. loctn = Browser("TalonPro Solutions").Page("TalonPro Solutions").WebList("Location").GetTOProperty("items count")

[color]'trying to get number of items in the Location list[/color]

    wait(7)

5. Browser("TalonPro Solutions").Page("TalonPro Solutions").WebList("Location").Select RandomNumber(1,loctn)

[color]Selecting a random number for the list Market in the range 1 to loctn (variable defined in the earlier set)[/color]

Next

My doubt: Is there a mistake in the code ? Can I pass a variable as the range in RandomNumber??? When I run this script lines 3 and 5 always select '1' item in the list and I see line 5 fails at times showing - object was not found.

Please help me where have I gone wrong ????

Thanks
Swetha

Hi Swetha,
Yes you can pass the variable as a range for RandomNumber

you have used 'GetTOProperty'. there is no any method as such in QTP a similar method is GetTOProperties return properties and values of an object used to identify the object. you should use GetROProperty to retreive the value of a particular property.

when you use 'select' for a weblist, if you are using the item in the list you can put the item derectly to select but if you use index then you should use "#1","#2" etc.

I have tried to modify your code

Code:
For i = 1 to 3

Mrkt = Browser("TalonPro Solutions").Page("TalonPro Solutions").WebList("Market").GetROProperty("items count")

'trying to get number of items in the Market list.

wait(5)

Browser("TalonPro Solutions").Page("TalonPro Solutions").WebList("Market").Select "#" & RandomNumber(1, Mrkt )

'Selecting a random number for the list Market in the range 1 to Mrkt (variable defined in the earlier set)

wait(5)

loctn = Browser("TalonPro Solutions").Page("TalonPro Solutions").WebList("Location").GetROProperty("items count")

'trying to get number of items in the Location list

wait(7)

Browser("TalonPro Solutions").Page("TalonPro Solutions").WebList("Location").Select "#" & RandomNumber(1,loctn)

'Selecting a random number for the list Market in the range 1 to loctn (variable defined in the earlier set)

let me know if this helps
