Working With Multiline Edit Controls - Specifics in Desktop Windows Applications

Applies to TestComplete 15.62, last modified on March 19, 2024

Generally, working with multiline edit controls is similar to working with single-line edit controls. Though, multiline controls have some specific features: while you can only work with one string within a single-line control, with a multiline control you can perform operations over a set of strings. So, you can use some specific approaches that are not available for single-line controls. The topics of this section contain information about the specifics of working with multiline edit controls.

Note: Though the following topics deal with scripts, you can use the same approaches while testing an application from your keyword tests. For more information, see Keyword Tests Basic Operations.
