Hi,

Current date could by obtained with this code:

Code: Select all

string dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
//get actual date
System.DateTime curDate = System.DateTime.Today;  
//convert date to string
string curDateStr= curDate.ToString(dateFormat);

//convert date to string
string curDateStr= curDate.ToString(dateFormat); 

but if I say I want to insert the value of the actual date I can do it in a text field?


for example in keepass I must write password "rx"; just so that "rx" does not appear if not the current date as I can do?

Hi,

I'm afraid, I don't quite understand what's your goal? To pass the current date to an element, you can either do this from code or from recording, using Set Value or Key sequence action.

Set Value is not ideal (and may actually fail) for web-based apps, where some inputs are using "on-mouse" and "on-key" events, which are not triggered by Set Value action. Hence it's better to use Key Sequence instead.

Please provide a small sample project/test suite (based of the keypass or any other publicly available app/web page), in which you show us your intention.
