Parameterization of object's properties in UFT? - object

I need to dynamically handle the object properties through code in my project as many of the object values are changing dynamically. So is there any way to parameterize object's properties in UFT?

To parameterize Object's Properties you need to Open your Object Repository in Object Repository Manager and go to Tools > Manage Repository Parameters and here you will get a window named as Manage Repository Parameters.
In this window click on "+" button and add Name, Default Value and Description of the parameter.
Till here you have successfully added the Dynamic Parameter.
Now to assign this parameter to an object what you need to do is just click on your object in which you want to use this property and then configure the value of required description property by pressing Ctrl + F11. Now from Repository Parameter window you can select "Parameter" radio box and select the property you added before and click OK.
After doing all these steps use this object in your code by just writing the below code and you are good to go with Parameterization of your Object.
Repository.Value("AddedObject") = "ValueYouWantToPassInRequiredProperty"

How to add a new method in Pharo?

In the Nautilus System Browser (Pharo 6) there's a right-click command to Add package... as well as Add class... and even Add protocol..., but I can't find anywhere a way to Add method....
Where is that command?
In Pharo, adding a method is not as explicit as the other elements. To add a new method:
Select the protocol for the method, and you should see a template in the editor pane:
messageSelectorAndArgumentNames
"comment stating purpose of message"
| temporary variable names |
statements
Edit this template to make a new method,
Save (Right-click Accept) it using Ctrl-S.
In fact, any time you change a method's definition (e.g., messageSelectorAndArgumentNames) and save it in the editor (Right-click Accept or Ctrl-S), it will create a new method.
For more details, see the section 1.3 of Developing a simple counter document (emphasis is mine):
Create a method
Now let us create the accessor methods for the instance variable count. Start
by selecting the class Counter in a browser, and make sure the you are editing the instance side of the class (i.e., we define methods that will be sent to
instances) by deselecting the Class side radio button.
Create a new protocol by bringing the menu of methods protocol list. Select
the newly created protocol. Then in the bottom pane, the edit field displays
a method template laying out the default structure of a method. As a general
hint, double click at the end of or beginning of the text and start typing your
method. Replace the template with the following method definition:
count
"return the current value of the value instance variable"
^ count
This defines a method called count, taking no arguments, having a method
comment and returning the instance variable count. Then choose accept in
the menu to compile the method.

Kentico 9: Auto Add Binding in Custom Module

I have created a custom module (actually I have created a handful in recent years, and this same obstacle frustrates me every time) following the Kentico documentation:
https://docs.kentico.com/display/K9/Creating+custom+modules
The problem I end up with every time, is in developing the User Interface for Parent/Child classes. I create a Vertical Tab node, and beneath it I add an edit tab and a Binding tab for the child class. This all works, and I can add and remove bindings at will, but what I can't do is ADD a new child class and bind it.
Using the Standard Edit Binding template, I am able to bind EXISTING Job Titles to the selected Category, but I cannot CREATE a new one from that page:
To solve this, I created a custom Edit Binding template, and added a New Child Class Header Action that points to a New / Edit Object child:
Which gives me a button that I can use to add a new child class (Job Title):
This approach works per se, in that I can click the New Job Title button and create a new item on the subsequent page:
But no binding is created to link the child object (Job Title) to the selected parent object (Category), An even bigger problem is that once I click Save, I am presented with the following:
The new object DOES SAVE, but the post-save navigation is somehow failing. The event log offers little in the way of diagnostics:
So I thought to create a completely custom interface to accomplish my needs here, according to the Kentico documentation:
https://docs.kentico.com/display/K9/Manually+creating+the+interface+for+custom+modules
So I change the Element Content of the New Job Title page to a custom page that I created to post a DataForm for the new object:
Taking care to assign the proper Object Types on the Properties Tab:
The intent was to programmatically create the binding upon save and also handle the correct navigation to avoid the ambiguous parameter error above, but when this page loads, the UIContext.ObjectID and UIContext.ParentObjectID are both 0:
So I cannot create the binding programmatically. I was able however to solve the error that I received by manually assigning the redirect. The experience is still lacking even with this hack, since it returns to the listing page, but the user still has to click "Add Items" to assign the binding after successfully creating it with the custom page I built.
This cannot be the proper way to do this, so any help with getting me on the right track would be greatly appreciated.
In order for the EditedObject to have a value you have to either decorate the page with the EditedObjectAtribute e.g. like this:
[EditedObject("<custom.objecttype>", "<objectid>", ...)]
or set the object yourself:
int objectId = QueryHelper.GetInteger("objectid", 0);
EditedObject = SomeInfoProvider.GetSomeInfo(objectId);
In your case, I'd recommend exploring what query parameters are available on the page and using them to fetch appropriate object(s). Also, make sure "JobCategoryId" is passed to the "New Job Title" dialog so that you can create the binding.
Btw - kudos for well asked question!

Unable to check the checkbox in GEB

I am trying to check my check box in Geb.
I have tried following codes, but no luck
$('input', type:'checkbox', id: 'chkTermsConditions', tabindex: '-1').value('true')
$(".CheckBoxUI").value('true')
Following is the HTML
After mouse go over the check box additional text updated (marked in the screen shot)
You are attempting to check the box which has the attribute with value='true'
From the Geb manual:
The value of input, select and textarea elements can be retrieved and set with the value method. Calling value() with no arguments will return the String value of the first element in the Navigator. Calling value(value) will set the current value of all elements in the Navigator. The argument can be of any type and will be coerced to a String if necessary. The exceptions are that when setting a checkbox value the method expects a boolean (or, an existing checkbox value) and when setting a multiple select the method expects an array or Collection of values.
Try this:
$("#chkTermsConditions").value(true)
If you are using non standard HTML generated by some other platform. You may have to resort to clicking the element or using javascript.
The element that produces the desired click result could be one of the surrounding elements. If the widget is javascript controlled you may have to call a function that is embedded into the page for that widget. If its a javascript widget I cannot help you unless you can point me to a page which uses the same platform.
Try:
$('a[class=CheckRadioFocus]').click()
$('a[id=termLink]').click()
or any of the other surrounding elements.
I managed to check the check box with $(".CheckBoxStyle").click()
Only issue is still Submit button doesn't get enable. Following is the html code for before and after checking the check box in real situation.
I tried the to click on the submit button with following code. It doesn't give any error. But still doesn't move to next page as expected.May be because of Submit button disable issue.
$("#submitBtnMsg").click()
Edited :
It was turned out above was application related issue. We have to click on the address after selecting via address validation service. Then only Submit button get enable.
$(".RedColor").click()

Regarding the installshield's custom dialog

Currently I use basic msi project in installshield.
I modify the destinaton dialog and add one checkbox on this dialog.
I want to use this checkbox's value in other place.
So how should I do?
Click on the checkbox you created in the dialog and you'll notice it has a Property and Value attribute. The Property is the name of the property that gets set when you check/uncheck the checkbox. The Property name should be in ALL CAPS to make it Public. It should also be listed in the SecureCustomProperties property to make it secure. ( Can pass from UI to Execute sequence during UAC/Elevated installation scenarios ) . The Value attribute says what the value of the Property is when it's checked. The unchecked value is always null/empty/unset.
If you need a different unchecked value you'll have to write a Set Property custom action that gives it a value when it doesn't have a value.
From there you can use it in other places ( such as Registry or XML changes ) by typing [PROPERTYNAME].

How do I attach an action to a button using Interface Builder?

I am new to Interface Builder. I have a method (IBAction) defined in my class. I want to fire this method when a particular button is clicked.
I cant see any way to add an action via the IBBuilder
Setting up an Action
Right-Click on your control instance
Drag to your target and let go.
Setting up an Outlet
