Hi Friends,
I am not able to differentiate a hidden and a visible object(WebButton, WebCheckbox).
I have used following properties which are giving me same output at run time in both the cases (hidden and visible):
1.Visible - True
2.Disabled - 0
3.Exist - True
Smart Identification is disabled.Still I am not able to differentiate.
Could anyone please suggest a solution.
It's very urgent for me.
thanks in advance.

Wow! never paid attention to these until reading your post.

Any way, belows are my opinion:

Let's talk about a webButton:

Visible
1) The button must be exist. Otherwise, it cannot be set/checked visible value.
The button is on the page. And it is visible.

Disable
1) The button must be exist. Otherwise, it cannot be set/checked disable value.
The button is on the page and visible. But cannot be acted on such as being cliked on.

Exist
1) The word explain itself

Hi,

But I have used all these options. All these values say that the WebButton exists, visible and not disabled in both the conditions i.e. either the button is visible or not, in the application I am testing. Could anyone Please Suggest some other properties by which I can script in such a way that it validates the WebButton is not present on the screen? Thanks in advance.

Hi buddy,

You can check with location of the object, whether the object is preset in the location, through ordinal identifiers.

Please rectify me if i am wrong

ordinal identifiers are also not working. but the button is not visible for us.

Actually, i have a radio button and a web button. My scenario is , when i select the radio button, web button should not be displayed and when i don't select the radio button web button should be displayed on the UI. This is what i see (manually) on the UI. But qtp is not showing any difference in the object properties of the object in both the cases, displayed or not. Here goes my code i am experimenting with.

Str=browser("name:=b").page("title:=p").webbutton("name:=wb").getroproperty("...")

whatever the property I am using is giving the same value, when the object is dispalyed as well as not displayed. I wonder how!! there should be some property which differentiates the non display of the object, right? properties i used till now and failed: exists,disabled,isdisabled,checked,hidden,visible and now the ordinal identifiers it's still unsovled

any more suggestions please..?

your web page and scenario:

Actually, i have a radio button and a web button. My scenario is,

1) when i select the radio button, web button should not be displayed
2) when i don't select the radio button web button should be displayed on the UI.

I assume that you want check the state of those objects and nothing else.

1) Your 2nd Senairo (You don't do anything) - when access the page and write the code to check the state they should be:

Radio Button:
Visible = Yes (or whatever value of the object represent "Yes" 1 or 0)
Why - See previous post
Disable = Not sure (you didn't mention whether it is clickable or not)
Exist = Yes (or whatever value of the object represent "Yes" 1 or 0)

CheckBox:
Visible = Yes (or whatever value of the object represent "Yes" 1 or 0)
Why - See previous post
Disable = No (or whatever value of the object represent "No" 1 or 0)
Exist = Yes (or whatever value of the object represent "Yes" 1 or 0)

2) Your 1st Senario - when access the page | Click the checkbox and write the code to check the state they should be:

Radio Button:
Visible = No (or whatever value of the object represent "No" 1 or 0)
Why - See previous post
Disable = Not sure (it depends on the design - you can see it by right-click on the page and select "view source)
Exist = No sure (it depends on the design - you can see it by right-click on the page and select "view source)

CheckBox:
Visible = Yes (or whatever value of the object represent "Yes" 1 or 0)
Why - See previous post
Disable = No (or whatever value of the object represent "No" 1 or 0)
Exist = Yes (or whatever value of the object represent "Yes" 1 or 0)


If the results are not like the above and these are critical to your test requirements, I would discuss with developer if I were you.

Hi Thank you, this worked. Previously when I told it was not working I was checking with the wrong WebButton. Ordinal Identifiers are zero for the WebButton I need to validate and this is what I need to validate. Thank you so much.
