ColumnCount Property

Applies to TestComplete 15.69, last modified on November 13, 2024

Description

The ColumnCount property returns the number of columns that the table recognized by using optical character recognition.

Declaration

OCRTableObj.ColumnCount

Read-Only Property Integer
OCRTableObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to an OCRTable object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

OCRTable

Property Value

The number of columns that the recognized table has.

Example

The example below uses the DetectTable property to recognize tabular data on a web page and then uses the ColumnCount and RowCount properties to iterate the data and post it to the test log:
