I am testing a web app where a file is to be renamed as follows
1)first click on the files name
2) this will make a textbox appear
3) I type the new name in textbox
4) I have to click outside the textbox so that the new name gets set.
or
4) Press enter key
The problem is in step 4. I've tried to get it to click at several places in my app, but the textbox doesn't loose focus and hence the name doesn't get set. I've even tried to use focus command, but, in vain.
Also tried to do this with enter key, but, seems that it doesn't work too. I tried keypress, keypressnative, etc. nothing seems to work.
Note: this sequence works when I do it manually and doesn't work when I do it from IDE or RC for C#.
Any help in this direction??
Thanks,
Vamyip
Selenium does not always fire the proper events. Probably your application relys on the blur event of the text box?
Try
selenium.fireEvent(locator_for_textbox, "blur");
Capybara throws an error because the driver does not support 'blur'
So I use:
find('html').click

I'm very new to C# and I'm trying to make a simple GUI hangman game to help me learn. I am using a textbox to both output errors (The letter was already entered. Try again) etc. and input the user's guess. However my problem comes in that whenever the user is given an error, they have to manually clear the textbox. What I'm looking for is a feature in most search boxes, google for example, that clears (in google's case, highlights) the text currently in the box.
I know it can be simply done using
textboxname.Clear();
but I'm not sure where it should go, I can place it under the code for a button without a problem but my instinct is to put it outside of the button's {} , however when I try this the text box isn't recognized and if statements can't be used.
I think I'm looking for:
if (TextBoxName.Focus)
{
TextBoxName.Clear();
}
But I'm just not sure where to put it
Is it possible to get selected TextBox using Watin browser.
Example:
Like in webbrowser Control we can put code behind mouse click event and get the mouse position etc.
Can we do the same here ? If not can we atleast get the selected textbox value when button presses? So i click a TextBox on the browser and i open my winform App and press a button it should automatically get the value of text field. I know we can get it by name or id as below:
string phone = fx.Frames[0].TextField(Find.ById("testPhone")).GetValue("value").ToString();
But can we do something like:
string phone = fx.Frames[0].SelectedTextField.GetValue("value")
Something to try, although it will be a bit convoluted.
A) In the WinForm app tie the button click to a call to a WatiN procedure.
B) In the WatiN procedure
Attach to the open IE browser
Have a javascript method that finds the Textbox that has focus and gets the value of that textbox. Another approach would be to use WatiN to get all the textfields then loop through them all looking to see which has focus, and get the value that way.
Return the text value as the return value to the WinForm app.
In theory, I believe all this to be possible though I have no specific experience tying a WinForm app to call a WatiN procedure.
I have a simple search field on a form that is set as multiline (which I understand is the only way to change a text box's height) and has the flag AcceptsReturn set to false.
However, when I press enter within that control, instead of it activating the default button as it should, it puts in a return character.
Now, I've also attempted using the KeyPress event to check if the Enter key has been pressed to activate the search-button click function in the hope that it would override this return behaviour - but it hasn't. Now it just runs the search AND inserts a return character.
I'm running Visual Studio 2010 (although this problem seemed to be present in 2008 too before I converted it) and C# .NET 2.0. Any solutions?
I see that an answer has already been posted, which mentions the AcceptButton property, but I figure I would state more clearly why that's necessary: quoth MSDN, on AcceptsReturn, "If there is no default button for the form, the ENTER key will always create a new line of text in the control, regardless of the value of this property." (I just tried it out on a dummy form - by "default button", they did in fact mean the form's AcceptButton property. With one set, the value of AcceptsReturn made a difference; without one, it had no effect.)
As for KeyPress, while that is obviously not the best way in this case, I have had to use tricks like that in the past - did you remember to set e.Handled to true in the case that you handled the event yourself?
The form has a property called AcceptButton. Is that pointing to the button you are calling the default button?
I just wrote a little test and it seems to work for me.
I am developing the Internet Explorer Toolbar in c#.net using the band objects.
Now in my toolbar, I am using the textbox field to make the search enable, but in this textbox field, I am not able to use the backspace, delete, arrow keys and many other such button.
I am not sure about y I am not able to use this. Please help me about this. I found many question posted over like this, but none of them was having the specific answer.
Thanks
The problem is that the browser is eating the events for those keystrokes, so the solution is to force focus to the toolbar when the text box receives focus.
To fix it add this line to your toolbar's constructor:
yourTextBox.GotFocus += (sender, args) => OnGotFocus(args);
Also make sure you have implemented TranslateAcceleratorIO() per this example.
Compare your code to this one and see what's missing.

I have a text box and a button
The button just create an messagebox with the text from the textbox.
But i change the value of the textbox, the new value apears (Ex: Type 123) but the message box does not show the value.
If i try to use the value in the programming (get the value by textbox1.text) the variable has nothing ( textbox1.text = "") but i can still see what i typed in the form.
Anyone has any clue?
Your button's click event handler should look something like this
private void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(textBox.Text);
}
I suspect you already have code similar to this and that at some point the textbox is cleared or otherwise set to String.Emppty but without seeing actual code it is difficult to help you
When/where did you check the value of textBox1.Text? If you're checking it in the constructor, Form1_Load, or anything else that occurs before you'll have typed text, you will get an empty value.
To properly check the value of textBox1.Text, you should set what's called a breakpoint on the line that calls MessageBox.Show(textBox1.Text). To do this, click in the grey area of the source editor (it's on the far left) on the line containing MessageBox.Show(..). A red circle will appear and your code should be highlighted. When you run your application and click on your button, your application should pause and Visual Studio will highlight that line and from here you can hover over "textBox1.Text" in the MessageBox.Show() line and it should show you the current value.
If your application is as simple as a form, a textbox, and your button1_Clicked event handling code, this should work no problem. If it is not this simple, then you need to look for anything that sets the value of the textBox in your code and make sure it isn't passing any blank values by using breakpoints.
To solve this properly, though, we really need more information.
Thanks Eric and Crippledsmurf. As both of you said, its hard to help without the code.
The problem I found is that when calling the form, I send some objects by reference, so I can track them down and I found that when (don't ask me why it happens that way, I'm still working on it) the construtor is called he make an new component, so the component in the interface no longer represents the one pointed by the variable "textbox1" (Yes Crash893, I haven't mispelled the name).
I found that I was making some mess with the references, and probably that was causing the problem. I fixed the problem by changing the actions performed by references for delegates and events, but I couldn't track down the exactly source of the problem.
Thanks, again, everyone for the insights.
