Beware of setting value in webedit using DOM

If you set value in a disabled webedit, QTP will throw the below error.


But do not enter value in webedit using DOM. The problem is: You can set value in web text box even it is disabled.
We have a work around for this.

Set obj=Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").WebEdit("index:=1").Object
If Not obj.disabled Then
obj.Value ="qtp"
End If

I always use DOM to retrieve text or count no. of objects. I hope this is helpful.

Accessing Web Objects Using DOM Methods

ElementFromPoint Method

x=Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").WebEdit("name:=q").GetROProperty("x")
y=Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").WebEdit("name:=q").GetROProperty("y")
Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").Object.elementFromPoint(x,y).Value="QTP" 'Sets value in web edit using coordinates

GetElementsByTagName Method

Set obj= Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").Object.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")
inCount=obj.Length-1
For i=0 to inCount
If obj(i).Name="q" and obj(i).Type="text" Then
Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").Object.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")(i).Value="QTP" 'Sets value in web edit using tag name.
End If
Next

GetElementsByName Method

Set obj= Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").Object.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")
inCount=obj.Length-1
For i=0 to inCount
If obj(i).Name="q" and obj(i).Type="text" Then
Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").Object.getElementsByName(obj(i).Name)(0).Value="QTP" 'Sets value in web edit using element's name.
End If
Next

GetElementByID Method

Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").Object.getElementByID("XXXX").Value="QTP" 'Sets value in web edit using element's ID

Verifying Child Object Existence Using Contains Method

Set objWebEdit=Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").WebEdit("name:=q").Object
msgbox Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").webTable("index:=0").Object.contains(objWebEdit)'If the webtable contains the specified child object, then Contains method will return True.

Browser Control in QTP using DOT Net Factory

Create browser control instance in QTP using DOT Net factory, then you are able to browse any web pages without browsers. Execute the below code,


Set obj = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.Form","System.Windows.Forms")
Set objBrwsr = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser","System.Windows.Forms")

With objBrwsr
.Width=800
.Height=800
.AllowNavigation=True
.AllowWebBrowserDrop=True
.IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled=True
End With

With obj .Controls.Add objBrwsrEnd with
objBrwsr.Navigate("www.google.com")
obj.showdialog

Set obj =Nothing
Set objBrwsr=Nothing

You will get DOT Net Dialog with browser control as same as below,

Accessing HTML Properties using QTP

Part-1

Getting URL from HTML form.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to access URL from a form's action, use the below code.
Syntax: Browser().Page().Object.getElementsByTagName("form")(IndexOfTheForm).action
