Unable to uncheck checkbox in Webdocument

I am able to check the checkbox in web document but unable to uncheck the same checkbox.

Here is the code used:

repository.webdocument.checkboxmin.Checked = false.ToString();

The "checked" property in the InputTag Adapter is directly mapped to the HTML "checked" attribute. So to uncheck the checkbox just set the "Checked" property to an empty string:

repository.webdocument.checkboxmin.Checked = "";

Because this is a bit counter-intuitive we will probably do something about that in a future release ..

Even repository.webdocument.checkboxmin.Checked = ""; is not working

Any other solutions for this????

Does the HTML source for your checkbox look like this ?

<input type="checkbox" name="testcheckbox" id="testcheckbox"/>

With this HTML input tag, the solution above works perfectly for me.

If it is OK for you to use a method that uses PerformClick then you can try this method below:

Code: Select all

if (SelectCheckBox == true)
{
	Report.Info("Selecting checkbox: " + CheckBoxName);
	if (DOMCheckBox.Checked.ToUpper() != "TRUE")
	{
		Report.Debug("  Selected checkbox: " + CheckBoxName);
		DOMCheckBox.EnsureVisible();
		DOMCheckBox.Focus();
		Thread.Sleep(1000);
		DOMCheckBox.PerformClick();
	}
	else
	{
		Report.Info("  " + CheckBoxName + " was already Selected");
	}
}
else
{
	Report.Info("DE-Selecting checkbox: " + CheckBoxName);
	if (DOMCheckBox.Checked.ToUpper() == "TRUE")
	{
		Report.Debug("  DE-Selected checkbox: " + CheckBoxName);
		DOMCheckBox.EnsureVisible();
		DOMCheckBox.Focus();
		Thread.Sleep(1000);
		DOMCheckBox.PerformClick();
	}
	else
	{
		Report.Info("  " + CheckBoxName + " was already DE-Selected");
	}
}

Html source for my checkbox looks like this.

<INPUT id=idchk_10011 type=checkbox CHECKED>.

repository.webdocument.checkboxmin.Checked = ""; isnt working. I am unable to uncheck the checkbox.

If i uncheck manually and try to check the checkbox it is working fine.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce your problem.
The workaround Ciege suggested should work fine.

If you are using PerformClick() you *should* be able to skip
the EnsureVisible(), Focus() and Sleep() because it actually doesnt use the mouse.

@Ciege: you might want to use Delay.Seconds(1) or Delay.Ms(1000) instead of Thread.Sleep(). You can then use Delay.ScaleFactor to globally scale all your delays if you feel the need for it...

Thanks for the tip. Is there a specific reason why I would choose Delay over Thread.Sleep? Or is that just "better" code?

Well, if you use Delay() you can also do something like this:
Delay.Duration("2m")
and if you set the Delay.SpeedFactor you can globally scale all delays, so for example if you use Delay.Seconds(10) in some locations, and you set SpeedFactor = 2 then all delays are reduced to 5 seconds.
(Edit: the example described it backwards)

It's also used by the generated recorder code, because of the speed factor and better readibility. But its definitely no problem if you use Thread.Sleep() instead.

Thanks for your solutions , but i have tried with these. None of them worked
Any more solutions left.

Did you try a "plain" automated mouse click, or is this not possible in your scenario ?
