Funtion to get the status of the check box along with name of the web element

[thequestionboy]

Hi everyone,

Please help me in writing a function in QTP. I am testing a web page which has so many check boxes (more than 50) with different name for each check box like chkbox_1, chkbox_2, chkbox_3 and so on. I writing a function to check the status of the check box (Checked or Unchecked) along with the name of the check box (like chkbox_1, chkbox_2).

I am able to get the status of the check box in the output but I am not able get the name of the check box in the output using the below function.

Public Function FindWebTable(ByVal sBrowserName, ByVal sPageName,ByVal sWebTableName)
Set oDesc2 = Description.Create()
oDesc2("micclass").Value = "WebTable"
oDesc2("name").Value= sWebTableName

Set WebTableCount=Browser("title:="&sBrowserName).Page("title:="&sPageName).WebTable("name:="&sWebTableName)
Rows=WebTableCount.RowCount
msgbox Rows

For i = 1 To Rows - 1
WebCheckBoxName=WebTableCount.GetCellData(i,2)
Reporter.ReportEvent micDone,"Name of the Check Box=",WebCheckBoxName
Next

End Function


Please let me know where am I doing wrong, I would appreciate if any one can help me in writing this function.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I am still unsure how you are getting the status of the checkbox.

The function you have written is to fetch the data value in the specified column in a webtable iterating through the row loop.

When you have multiple checkbox in a webtable here is the logical approach,

1. Checkboxes are child objects to the Parent Webtable.
2.Find the count of the childitems. [ In this case checkboxes ]
3. Loop through the count to find out the "Text" & "Status" of the checkbox.
