How to Verify a Non Existing Object - rock111 - 12-01-2011

Hi,

I have a Menu which is displayed when i hover the mouse on it.
It displays a list of menu options depending on the user permissions.

My scenario is to check if a particular menu option is not displayed for a user.
I'm trying to use the below line of code to check the option is not present for the user.

Code:
Browser("IE").Page("Page").Link("ABC").Exist

But it throws an error message since the object was not found in the object repository.

How do i handle this scenario?

Get all the links displayed in an array and compare the text property of the required link with the links fetched.You may use child objects method to get all the links.
for ex:

Code:
set allLinks=Browser().Page().childobjects(<Linktype>)

for i=0 to allLinks.length-1

If allLinks(i).getRoProperty("innertext")="ABC" then

 msgbox "Link Exists"

Else

 msgbox "link doesn't exist"

End If

Next

Regards,
Ravi

Hi

I had faced a similiar issue. Usually such drop-downs are identified as webtable by qtp. check for that. If its a webtable its further easy for u to get the child objects from the webtable using what ravi suggested

Code:
like Browser(Browser).Page(Page).webtable(webtable).childObjects
