This method is not supported in web tests (including cross-platform web tests) that use XPath expressions and CSS selectors to locate web elements. This method can be only used in tests that locate web objects by using internal identification properties provided by TestComplete.

Description

The HoverMouseColumnHeader action moves the mouse pointer to point (X, Y) within the header of the specified column. If the coordinates of the mouse pointer, that is X and Y, are not specified, HoverMouseColumnHeader moves the pointer to the center of the header.

Declaration

TestObj.HoverMouseColumnHeader(Column, X, Y)

TestObj	A variable, parameter or expression that specifies a reference to one of the objects listed in the Applies To section
Column	[in]	Required	Variant
X	[in]	Optional	Integer	Default value: -1
Y	[in]	Optional	Integer	Default value: -1
Result	None

AngularUI Grid, Borland String Grid, Borland TDBGrid and 35 more objects, Developer Express ExpressVerticalGrid, Developer Express WPF Grid, Developer Express XtraGrid, Developer Express XtraVerticalGrid, DevExpressXtraGridView, DevExpressXtraVerticalGridColumn, Ext JS Grid Panel, Flex DataGrid, Infragistics UltraGrid, Infragistics WebDataGrid, Infragistics XamDataGrid, InfragisticsUltraGridView, InfragisticsWebDataGridView, Java Swing Table, JavaFX TableView, MFC Grid, Microsoft DataGrid, Microsoft DataGridView, Rogue Wave Stingray Objective Grid, Rogue Wave Stingray Objective GridEx, SAP GUI ShellGridView, Silverlight Grid, Spark DataGrid, Syncfusion Essential Grid (GridGroupingControl), Syncfusion Grid Controls, SyncfusionEssGridView, Telerik RadGridView for Silverlight, Telerik RadGridView for WinForms, Telerik RadGridView for WPF, TMS TAdvStringGrid, WPF Toolkit DataGrid, XamDataGridView, Xceed Grid, YUI 2 DataTable, YUI 3 DataTable « Collapse the list

View Mode

To view this method in the Object Browser panel and in other panels and dialogs, activate the Advanced view mode.

Parameters

The method has the following parameters:

Column

Specifies the caption or index of the column to move the mouse pointer to its header.

The index is zero-based and corresponds to the column’s position within the object's internal columns collection rather than the column’s visible position in the object.

The caption can contain asterisk (*) or question mark (?) wildcards or regular expressions. The asterisk corresponds to a string of any length, the question mark corresponds to any single character. To specify more complicated parts of a caption, use regular expressions.

The caption can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on the value of the Use case-sensitive parameters project setting.

XtraVerticalGrid:

The XtraVerticalGrid control may contain multi-editor columns. These columns contain several headers (or nested columns) within each column. TestComplete considers these nested columns as ordinary columns, and both types of columns share the same index space.

The following image illustrates a typical structure of the XtraVerticalGrid control:

X

Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the mouse pointer where the click will be simulated. The coordinate is relative to the top left corner of the cell.

Y

Specifies the vertical coordinate of the mouse pointer where the click will be simulated. The coordinate is relative to the top left corner of the cell.

Result Value

None.

Remarks

If the specified coordinates are out of the header cell’s bounds or if the specified column is not found, HoverMouseColumnHeader fails and posts an error message to the log.
Desktop testing: If TestObj refers to an object of a non-DPI-aware application running with a DPI setting other than 100%, set the X and Y parameter values relative to the application (as if the application is running with the 100% DPI setting).
Web testing: If the Use CSS pixels for scaled pages option is enabled (by default), set the X and Y parameter values relative to the web page, regardless of the browser zoom and the system's DPI setting.
