I have a WPFObject("SearchBox") in my WPF application.Its an autofill searchbox.On typing a text in it,it displays a listbox with text related to the search.
What is the best way to test it ?I am using TC9 and jscript.
Thanks!
You need to use the Keys method. For example:
parentObj.WPFObject("SearchBox").Keys("test");
By default, TestComplete records text typing with the SetText method as it works faster than Keys, but in some cases you need to simulate working with a keyboard and the Keys method is the best way to go. You can find information on this in the Simulating Keystrokes help topic. Also, please see the Entering Text into an Edit Control topic for information on the difference between these two methods and the Recording Options Dialog topic to get information on how to make TestComplete use the Keys method when recording a new test.

I've tried nearly anything, The "Type Into" activity won't print plain text into the text box let alone a held variable. The textbox element in question is the update work items comment box in the acme-test website from the Level 3 RPA developer course. I am able to type into the box manually and the robot is able to find it (the cursor moves to the centre of the text box and the program continues). I've tried quite a lot, including using a click activity and then sending the string as hotkeys.
Most probably the issue is related to your selectors. Since you are on level 3 RPA developer course I assume you are using Reframework for the task and I believe because of comprehensive error handling capabilities of this template your application just continuous with the next item instead of crashing when it can't find the element.
To solve the selector issues I usually do the following:
Use partial selectors instead of full selectors
Use wildcards for dynamic parts of your selectors (* for replacing any number of characters, ? for replacing exactly 1 character)
You can also store the page you are working on in a Uipath.Core.Browser type variable to eliminate the need of reselecting browser.
Also keep in mind that if you have used basic recorder functionality of UI path it generates full selectors.
I am trying to build an applescript dialog that helps me keep track of the things I am working on. To make it really effective I'd like to have it look up items from my todo list and suggest them as I type a la google suggest or other javascript autocomplete functionality.
I was thinking it would be fairly simple if I just captured the input of the # key, which I wanted to use to denote project or the # key for tasks and at that point started matching the input to my list of tasks or projects. For example, lets say I type:
"Worked on feature for #"
At this point the input of the # would start capturing keyboard input and try to suggest one of the projects on my todo list. This is where I am stuck. It seems like I should be able to attach a listener or something to my input box but I can't seem to find any examples or reference to such functionality.
You can't do this with applescript. You need to build your own window in a cocoa application and then hook into the NSTextField's methods to do this. It's not too difficult but it requires a whole different set of skills than applescript.
How can I implement spell check in a WP7 text boxes without using input scope of a text box
You may use the TextChanged event and process the text entered on the TextBox for spelling checks. That would be my approach. But it will slow down your typing and UI mapping. Best method is to use the inputScope and let the device do its work which you do not want. I hope my answer helps you.
Heloo there? Is there any way to change the color [back and forecolor] of a Messagebox? Iam using VB6.0... Thanks in advance!
To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to do this. There is, however, a typical workaround.
The most common method for creating custom "message boxes" in VB6 is to create a new form in your project that acts specifically as a message box. You Show it when you need it, and then Hide or Unload it when the user clicks "OK" or "Cancel" or whatever. You can size the form the same as (or differently from) a MsgBox, create the buttons you want, make the colors as you choose, etc. Whenever you would have a message box pop up to tell the user something, you will instead call this form and change the text/color/other variables to whatever you need them to be.
This may seem annoying at first, but once you've done it once, it's very easy to see how useful a tool this new form template can become. It's code you might find yourself frequently reusing between various applications.
If you need any help with forms or form events, this is a pretty good basic tutorial which should tell you most of what you need to make this work:

Good luck!
This is easy in .NET (not my question) but I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to simply change the text of a string in a Win32 list box control given an index.
There is a GetText function that takes an item index but nothing to change the text of an existing item/string. My workaround will be to remove it and add it back in the box (which is also a weird prospect since there is no single command to add a string + item data -- these must be done carefully by inserting the string and then setting the item data on the index of the inserted string, which is tricky (not possible?) with sorting active).
Yes, the lack of a LB_SETITEMTEXT message is a bit weird.
You should put your Delete+Insert+SetData calls between calls to WM_SETREDRAW...
At the risk of being off topic...
I tend to use the ListView control all of the time. You'll want it in report view to mimic a listbox, and, as a plus, it supports multiple columns.
Oh.. and it has a LVM_SETITEM Message :)

Although this question is old, but I think this documentation presented by Microsoft will be able to answer anyone questions based on this one.
So according to Microsoft documentation which you can find here
Changes the text of a list-view item or subitem. You can use this
macro or send the LVM_SETITEMTEXT message explicitly.
void ListView_SetItemText(
hwndLV,
i,
iSubItem_,
pszText_
);
And it also presents other macros for managing the list box. You can build a wrapper around this macros to simplify handling list view controls, etc.
