About Support
TestComplete can recognize text field controls in Oracle Forms. It provides special properties and methods that let you retrieve the controls data and simulate user actions on the controls.
Requirements
In order for TestComplete to be able to work with Oracle Forms text fields, the following requirements must be met:
-
The TestComplete Desktop module must be installed.
-
The Oracle Forms Control Support plugin must be installed and enabled.
This plugin is installed and enabled automatically when you install the Desktop module.
If you experience issues when working with the controls, select File | Install Extensions from the TestComplete main menu and check whether the plugin is active. (You can find the plugin in the Desktop group.)
-
The control’s class name must be specified in the Oracle Forms Controls | Test Field group of your project’s Object Mapping options. By default, this group contains the following items:
oracle.forms.ui.VTextField
Recognizing Custom Controls
To command TestComplete to recognize your custom controls as
Oracle Forms Text Field
controls, open your project’s Object Mapping options and add the control’s class name to the Oracle Forms Controls | Text Field group. The class name is specified by the control’s JavaFullClassName property. You can get the property value in the Object Browser panel. You can also choose the needed control from screen. For detailed information, see Object Mapping. Once the control is mapped, it gets all the properties, methods and actions specific to the Oracle Forms Text Field control.
If the specified custom control does not fit the control’s type, then it may not properly respond to commands that TestComplete sends, so recording or playing back user actions over the tested control will cause errors.
Members
When testing Oracle Forms Text Field controls, you can use properties and methods specific to these controls, as well as properties and methods that TestComplete applies to onscreen objects. For the full list of available properties and methods, see the following topics:
