How to get a combobox item ? Delphi form : Automation API

[claudio.souza]

Im working in a project for automating tests for an application made in Delphi. (version unknow)

With the Ranorex spy i can get the classname of the desired combo (TDBLookupComboBox) and also got the name of the list class (TPopupDataList).

How can i get the selected text ?

I'm using Ranorex 1.5 and VB.Net.

How can i get the selected text ?

Normally, you can read the selected text of the combo as follows:
(The selected text is the value of the combo element.)

Code: Select all

ComboBox comboBox = form.FindComboBox("comboBox1");
Element comboElement = comboBox.Element.FindChild(Role.ComboBox);
String comboValue = comboElement.Value;
Console.WriteLine("Combo value= {0}", comboValue);

OK, you can also find the combo by class name:

Code: Select all

ComboBox comboBox = (ComboBox)form.FindClassName("TDBLookupComboBox");
Element comboElement = comboBox.Element.FindChild(Role.ComboBox);
String comboValue = comboElement.Value;
Console.WriteLine("Combo value= {0}", comboValue);

Please use also the second argument of the function FindClassName (instanceNumber) if you have more than one combo in your form.
