Text Check Point  only validates  the text string  in the field.

Text area searches  the entire length of  the  fields and validates  the text strings. It's a good practice the use Text area  check  point than  the txt checkpoint.

Example: when you validate Seenu using a text checkpoint, it passes. The next time , in the next iteration,when  it comes across CHIRANJEEVI.............it fails.

Forum guys/gals........pls correct me if I'm wrong

hi

Text checkpoint enables us to check that the textis displayed in a screen , window, or web page , according to specified criteria. it is supported for all environments.

Text area checkpoint enables us to check  that  a text string appears within a defined  areas in windows applications, according to specified criteria. it is supported for standard windows, visual basic and activex environments

if anything is wrong get back to me

with regards

Text check point is to rerieve entire data from non-editable part.(eg.combo box-items) whereas Textarea check point is to retrieve a particular data from it.

Text checkpoint both can check the whole string which u can do by using standard checkpoint. difference is that if u want to validate that a particular string has to come within a defined area then use text area checkpoint . use text checkpoint when the position of text is critical. assume u have a text box in one screen that displays the name entered in previous screen. u will use text area checkpoint to validate that name appears within the text box. u will use text checkpoint in this example to see that surname appears first(assuming some format specified wherein surname should be first).

Text Check Point  only validates  the values of specified object.

Text area searches  the entire length of  the  selected area and validates  the screen value. It's a good practice the use Text area  check  point than  the text checkpoint.

Example: when you validate Seenu using a Text checkpoint  It passes. The next time , in the next iteration,when  it comes across CHIRANJEEVI and Trisha Romance Scene ............it fails.
