Retrieving Data From TDBLookupComboBox. Example

Applies to TestComplete 14.40, last modified on April 22, 2021

This example illustrates how to retrieve items of a TDBLookupComboBox control from a script. The TestDBLookupComboBox script routine posts the contents of a TDBLookupComboBox object to the test log.

The example works with the Mastapp sample application that is installed with Borland Delphi or C++Builder, and has the following requirements:

  • The Delphi and C++Builder Application Support plugin must be installed in TestComplete,

  • The Mastapp application must be compiled with debug information included (for instructions on how to do this, see Debug Info Agent).

  // Obtain the process

  // Obtain the main form of the Mastapp application
  w = p.MainForm;
  // Bring up the main form
  // Press the Orders button
  w.OrderBtn.Click();
  // Obtain the Edit Order form
  w = p.EdOrderForm;
  // CompanyCombo is a TDBLookupComboBox control
  CompanyCombo = w.HeaderPanel.CompanyCombo;
  // Return the dataset and field
  DataSet = CompanyCombo.ListSource.DataSet;
  Field = DataSet.FieldByName(CompanyCombo.ListField);
