Working With Grids in TestComplete
TestComplete provides full-scale support for the most popular third-party grid controls:
TestComplete can recognize these controls during test recording and playback, and work with them via special program objects. These objects extend the “native” functionality of grid controls, which are also visible to TestComplete, with a number of supplementary properties and methods:
These extended methods and properties let you perform a vast amount of operations over grids, in addition to the “standard” actions such as keyboard input and coordinate clicks:
This way, you can easily access individual grid cells, modify their values and test the grid’s feedback. At the end of the test, TestComplete generates a detailed log of all performed actions:
You can also take advantage of other features in TestComplete when testing grid controls. For example, during the test run, you can create checkpoints for verifying data displayed in the grid control against a baseline copy.
