Setting the UpDown Value

While testing UpDown controls, you can use specific properties and methods of the corresponding program object to perform certain actions and obtain data stored in controls. You can call these methods and properties from your keyword tests, as well as from scripts. This topic describes how to work with the needed properties and methods from your scripts. However, when testing a control from your keyword test, you can use the same methods and properties calling them from keyword test operations. For more information, see Keyword Tests Basic Operations.

You can set a value in the UpDown control's associated control by doing one of the following:

• Assign a value to the wPosition property of the Win32UpDown object. During the test run, this object will be automatically associated with UpDown controls whose class names are listed in the project’s Object Mapping options. wPosition specifies the integer value that is currently displayed in the UpDown control's associated control.

  Below is an example that demonstrates how you can set an integer value in the Edit Box control used with the UpDown control:

  JavaScript, JScript

  Python

  VBScript

  DelphiScript

  C++Script, C#Script

  JavaScript, JScript

  function main()
  {
    var UpDown;
  
    // Obtain the UpDown control
    UpDown = Sys.Process("Project1").Window("TForm1", "Form1", 1).Window("TUpDown", "", 1);
  
    // Set a value
    UpDown.wPosition = "15";
  }

  Python

  def Main():
  
    # Obtain the UpDown control 
    UpDown = Sys.Process("Project1").Window("TForm1", "Form1", 1).Window("TUpDown", "", 1)
  
    # Set a value
    UpDown.wPosition = "15"

  VBScript

  Sub main
    Dim UpDown
  
    ' Obtain the UpDown control
    Set UpDown = Sys.Process("Project1").Window("TForm1", "Form1", 1).Window("TUpDown", "", 1)
  
    ' Set a value
    UpDown.wPosition = "15"
  End Sub

  DelphiScript

  procedure Main;
  var UpDown;
  begin
  
    // Obtain the UpDown control
    UpDown := Sys.Process('Project1').Window('TForm1', 'Form1', 1).Window('TUpDown', '', 1);
  
    // Set a value
    UpDown.wPosition := '15';
  end;

  C++Script, C#Script

  function main()
  {
    var UpDown;
  
    // Obtain the UpDown control
    UpDown = Sys["Process"]("Project1")["Window"]("TForm1", "Form1", 1)["Window"]("TUpDown", "", 1);
  
    // Set a value
    UpDown["wPosition"] = "15";
  }

• Simulate a mouse click on the up or down arrow button of the UpDown control using the Up and Down actions respectively. The Up and Down actions simulate moving the mouse pointer to the up or down arrow button of the UpDown control and then simulate a mouse click on it. Clicking the up arrow increases the current value, clicking the down arrow decreases the value.

    UpDown = Sys["Process"]("Project1")["Window"]("TForm1", "Form1", 1)["Window"]("TUpDown", "", 1);
  
    // Set a value
    UpDown["Up"]();
    UpDown["Up"]();
    UpDown["Down"]();
  }
