Description.Create with same propertie and different values, not working - ttralor - 01-07-2013
Hello,
I want to count the number of WebElements with the propertie "innertext" and the values "Blue Skies Airlines 360" AND "Blue Skies Airlines 361". On my AUT there are two of these objects on my page.
This is my QTP code:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
Set flight=Description.Create()
flight("micclass").value="WebElement"
flight("innertext").value="Blue Skies Airlines 360"
flight("innertext").value="Blue Skies Airlines 361"
flight("html tag").value="B"
set nflights = Browser("name").Page("title").ChildObjects(flight)
msgbox "Number of flights: " &nflights.CountI run with the "Run one iteration only" option.
The number of flights QTP returns is 1 and not the expected 2.
What i am doing wrong?
(i think i have to build in a loop, but i cannot get it ok)

because it considered the recent 'innertext' value i.e 'Blue Skies Airlines 361' which is only 1 on the screen , in this case you have to use the regular expression , while taking count of the object you have to use the properties which are sufficient to identify the similar types of objects.
Try the below code, I think this will return 2 for you:
Code:
Set flight=Description.Create()
flight("micclass").value="WebElement"
flight("innertext").value="Blue Skies Airlines.*" '/To identify the objects of similar kind
flight("html tag").value="B"
set nflights = Browser("name").Page("title").ChildObjects(flight)
msgbox "Number of flights: " &nflights.CountThanks,

Harish thank you very much for your answer!
I just started with QTP (and with programming) and did not realise that the most recent value, in this situation, is the value QTP is working with. That is a good learning lesson for me. I will try it with regular expression.
(my english is sometimes not 100% good, because i live in Holland)
Thanks!
