Hi Anshoo,

First …Thanks for sharing the techniques of hovering and replayType details ..

@ Ankit Query :- The script may NOT be hovering and then selecting sublink and click on it if there are multiple links in that webpage with same names.
So when you use index to click the desired link it does NOT require to hover the mouse on the parent LINK.

So I think QTP cannot identify the sublinks drop down list which gets enabled only when Mouse is hovered over Parent Link. Please let me know if there is any workaround for this. So it does NOT treat the items in this list as Listitems but considers as independant links

Thanks,
SAM

Sophia, sorry, never had the chance to do this. Do you have a demo app that I can test this on?

Hello! i found this post relevant to my problem. Actually I want to grab the tool tip text of a JavaButton when mouse is hovered over the button, in a java application. Can you guide me how to do that? I have tried following things but nothing works;
. JavaWindow(“Main Window”).JavaButton(text).FireEvent micMouseEnter, 0,0 // I am not sure of the arguments here, neither could I find the details over web.
. ToolTip1 = JavaWindow(“Main Window”).JavaButton(text).GetROProperty(“alt”) //Does not work either
. JavaWindow(“Main Window”).JavaButton(text).FireEvent “onmouseover” // this one does not work either also tell me where is this event defined? I could not find it in documentation.

I also tried adding the a property and its value to the object in object repository but in that case QTP does not identify the object as it is changed.

Abhilash, you can do so by using a conditional (If..Then..Else) statement.

If color = "orange" Then
    Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Orange", "Invalid color"
Else
    Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Not Orange", "Valid color"
End If

Hi,
Anshoo Arora

example if i want Reporter.ReportEvent to fail if color is black and pass if color returned is orange….

Thanks

Ankit, the way I generally do this is not visible to the user but the link is clicked. If you want to make it visible, then I guess you can consider changing the replaytype:

Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 2

Browser("title:=Relevant Codes.*").Link("innertext:=Articles").FireEvent "onmouseover"
Browser("title:=Relevant Codes.*").Link("innertext:=VBScript", "index:=0").Click

Setting.WebPackage("ReplayType") = 1

Hi Anshoo,
How to click on a sublink which becomes visible when mouse is put over the parent link.
Like in your website first fire a onmouseover event for Articles link(this part I am able to do) then select and click on any of the sublink.

Thanks
Ankit
