I have an issue whereby QTP refuses to input a value into a field within a VB6 app. So far it will go through the app and populate all manner of textboxes from drop downs to comobo boxes, etc, etc. When it comes to two particular textboxes it wont populate them with the given values.

The script is below:
Window("Application").Window("Application v1.4.6").WinObject("ThunderRT6FormDC").Window("Person Description").WinObject("___").Type "180"

QTP has no issues locating and placing the cursor into the box. I can even get it to delete any values already in the box. But wont enter the 180.

I am wondering if it is related to the box being a masked field as its prepopulated with the underscores. The other box I am having issues with is a data box that also has the underscores in there such as "__/__/____".

The populate these boxes manually you just enter the numbers so there is some formatting going on behind the scenes and im wondering if this is the issue.

Is there any way around this?

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

Try it like this and see if it helps

With Window("Application").Window("Application v1.4.6").WinObject("ThunderRT6FormDC").Window("Person Description").WinObject("___")
   .Type micHome
   .Type "1"
   Wait 0, 500
   .Type "8"
   Wait 0, 500
   .Type "0"
   Wait 0, 500
End With

Hi Fatti,
      If your textbox is formatted for "__/__/____", then your input should be like this '14071984'.

Please try with the below code,

Code

GeSHi (qtp):

Window("Application").Window("Application v1.4.6").WinObject("ThunderRT6FormDC").Window("Person Description").WinObject("___").Type "14071984"

 

Created by GeSHI 1.0.7.20

I guess this is your problem.

Mate that knocked it on the head. Your a legend.

Any particular reason that works and the original didnt?

Not Sure. But mostly it could be because of the time application is taking to respond to each key event
