Hi ,

In Winrunner, can we get the text from the tool tip. ?
For example , when the mouse pointer is placed on the "start" in windows. We get a tool tip saying "Click here to start" . Is it possible to verify such kind of text.???

Thanks in advance

Hi Sowmya,

You can use the "obj_get_tooltip_text" or "web_obj_get_tooltip_text" functions to retrieve the text displayed as tooltip.

But you would need to download the associated CSO from Mercury Support site as these are libraries created for providing additional functionality in Winrunner.

Some prerequisites are web add-in should be loaded and the following files should be located in your arch directory of Winrunner installation.

• clipboard.dll
  csolib2.dll
  XLDDT.exe

Once you have this dll/library file, you can use the web_obj_get_tooltip_text and pass the ObjectName, variable to hold the ToolTipText and the timeout for waiting for tooltip to appear.

Cheers....
