WebTable methods in UFT/QTP

UFT/QTP helps to identify by providing Web table class. WebTable class provides various methods to work on web table. Webtable class contains various methods which allows to work on tabular structure.Tables inside web pages are implemented without any name or id attributes most of the times. This makes it difficult for Automation engineer to create robust scripts for identifying the Table correctly at run-time. Below are explained webtable methods with examples.

1. Exist 

2. RowCount

3. ColumnCount

4. GetCellData

5. GetRowWithCellText

6. ChildItem

7. ChildItemCount

8. ChildObject

Exist

Description: Exist method is used to check whether the webtable is exist in the open application or not.

Syntax: Obj.Exist                                           

Return Type: A Boolean Value

Example:

Dim Var

Var = Browser(“Name:=Browser”).Page(“Title:=Page”).WebTable(“Name:=WebTable”).Exist

Msgbox Var 

RowCount

Description: RowCount method is used to get the number of rows in the webtable.

Syntax: Obj.RowCount                                  

Return Type: Long

Example:

Dim Row_Count

Row_Count = Browser(“Name:=Browser”).Page(“Title:=Page”).WebTable(“Name:=WebTable”).RowCount

Msgbox Row_Count

ColumnCount

Description: ColumnCount method is used to get the number of Columns in the webtable.

Syntax: Obj.ColumnCount(Row)                   

Return Type: Long

Example:

Dim Column_Count

Column_Count = Browser(“Name:=Browser”).Page(“Title:=Page”).WebTable(“Name:=WebTable”). ColumnCount(Row)

Msgbox Column_Count  

GetCellData

Description: GetCellData method is used to get the Text/Value contained in the specified cell in the webtable.

Syntax: Obj.GetCellData(Row,Column)       

Return Type: String

Example: 

Dim Var_Data

Var_Data = Browser(“Name:=Browser”).Page(“Title:=Page”).WebTable(“Name:=WebTable”). GetCellData(Row_Num, Column_Num)

Msgbox Var_Data   

GetRowWithCellText

Description: GetRowwithCellText method is used to get the number of first row found that contains a cell with the specified text in the webtable.

Syntax: Obj.GetRowwithCellText(Text, Column(Optional), StartFromRow (Optional))  

Return Type: Long

Example: 

Dim Row_Num

Row_Num = Browser(“Name:=Browser”).Page(“Title:=Page”).WebTable(“Name:=WebTable”). GetRowWithCellText(Row_Num, Column_Num)

Msgbox Row_Num

ChildItem

Description: ChildItem method is used when we want to get a test object from the cell in a webtable by type and index.

Syntax: Obj.ChildItem(Row, Column, MicClass, Index)         

Return Type: An Obeject

Example: 

Dim ObjObject

ObjObject = Browser(“Name:=Browser”).Page(“Title:=Page”).WebTable(“Name:=WebTable”).ChildItem(2,1,”WebCheckbox”, 1)

ChildItemCount

Description: ChildItemCount method is used when we want to get the number of objects of a specified Type in the specified cell in webtable.

Syntax: Obj.ChildItemCount(Row, Column, MicClass)          

Return Type: A Long Value

Example: 

Dim VarCount

VarCount = Browser(“Name:=Browser”).Page(“Title:=Page”).WebTable(“Name:=WebTable”).ChildItemCount(2,1,”WebCheckbox”)

ChildObjects

Description: ChildIObjects method is used when we want to get the number of child objects of a specified Type in the webtable.

Syntax: Obj.ChildObject(“MicClass”)           

Return Type: A collection of Objects

Example: 

Set Obj = Description.Create

     Obj("micclass").value = "Link"

Set  ObjChild = Browser("Name:=Page").Page("Title:=Page").WebTable("Name:=WebTable").ChildObjects(Obj)

For i = 0  to  ObjChild.count-1

MsgBox Obj1(i).GetROProperty("Name")
