CMFCTabCtrl get handle of tabs and their childs - visual-c++

I have a properly initialized object of CMFCTabCtrl in my application.
I have added some tabs to it by
m_oMTC.AddTab(pTab, Name, -1, FALSE);
now I want to iterate over over all tabs in m_oMTC, get tabs handle and check some of it's child item. How can i do this?
I used this code for iterating
int nTabCnt = m_oMTC->GetTabsNum();
for (int i = 0; i < nTabCnt; i++)
{
m_oMTC->SetActiveTab(i);
}

CMCFTabCtrl is derived from CMFCBaseTabCtrl. You should be using CMFCBaseTabCtrl::GetTabWnd to iterate through the child tabs within your loop. Depending on how you've set up the tabs, you may need to enumerate the child CWnds on the returned CWnd from GetTabWnd.

Using composed xpath to locate an element and click on it

I am trying to retrieve a list of elements using XPATH and from this list I want to retrieve a child element based on classname and click it.
var rowList = XPATH1 + className;
var titleList = className + innerHTMLofChildElement;
for(var i = 0; i < titleList.length; i++) {
if(titleList[i][0] === title) {
browser.click(titleList[i][0]); //I don't know what to do inside the click function
}
}
I had a similar implementation perhaps to what you are trying to do, however my implementation is perhaps more complex due to using CSS selectors rather than XPath. I'm certain this is not optimized, and can most likely be improved upon.
This uses the methods elementIdText() and elementIdClick() from WebdriverIO to work with the "Text Values" of the Web JSON Elements and then click the intended Element after matching what you're looking for.
http://webdriver.io/api/protocol/elementIdText.html
http://webdriver.io/api/protocol/elementIdClick.html
Step 1 - Find all your potential elements you want to work with:
// Elements Query to return Elements matching Selector (titles) as JSON Web Elements.
// Also `browser.elements('<selector>')`
titles = browser.$$('<XPath or CSS selector>')
Step 2 - Cycle through the Elements stripping out the InnerHTML or Text Values and pushing it into a separate Array:
// Create an Array of Titles
var titlesTextArray = [];
titles.forEach(function(elem) {
// Push all found element's Text values (titles) to the titlesTextArray
titlesTextArray.push(browser.elementIdText(elem.value.ELEMENT))
})
Step 3 - Cycle through the Array of Title Texts Values to find what you're looking for. Use elementIdClick() function to click your desired value:
//Loop through the titleTexts array looking for matching text to the desired title.
for (var i = 0; i < titleTextsArray.length; i++) {
if (titleTextsArray[i].value === title) {
// Found a match - Click the corresponding element that
// it belongs to that was found above in the Titles
browser.elementIdClick(titles[i].value.ELEMENT)
}
}
I wrapped all of this into a function in which i provided the intended Text (in your case a particular title) I wanted to search for. Hope this helps!
I don't know node.js, but in Java you should achieve your goal by:
titleList[i].findElementBy(By.className("classToFind"))
assuming titleList[i] is an element on list you want to get child elements from

Reading Real Time Table - Selenium

I'm trying to read a dynamic table, which is updated 1-3 times per second. I'm using Selenium, in Python 3.x, but if you have a solution for other languages I can work it out as well.
My question is: what is the best practice for reading frequently updated tables?
What I've tried:
driver.wait.until along with expected_conditions
re-read the table with a call to find_elements if a stale exception is thrown
Neither of them is working, due to the high refreshing rate. I can successfully retrieve the table for a moment, but when I try to access its rows the moment after, I get a stale exception. It's worth to say that when I try the same code in the same table when there are less frequent updates everything works fine.
I'm not posting any code for the moment, as I'd be interested in knowing what more experienced people do in this case.
My naive thinking: Being non-expert (but keen to learn) in web scraping nor in any web-related languages, I'd say that if this was a problem with dynamic data, I'd take a pointer or a reference to the actual table (and then looping dynamically on the rows). Is that possible in this framework?
We usually get stale element exception when the Webelement has been changed at present when compared to its attributes at the time of webelement's creation.
Let's say the intent is to print second data element in a table every seconds, our code looks like this, (Sorry for giving the code in Java)
//This will work if the page is static
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[2]"));
for(int i = 0; i< 10;i++)
{
System.out.println(element.getText());
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
To make this work for dynamic loading tables / refreshing tables we need to initiate the webelement before the each iteration something like this,
//This will work for dynamic content
WebElement element = null;
for(int i = 0; i< 10;i++)
{
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[2]"));
System.out.println(element.getText());
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
In the case, if you need to get the i'th cell value in a table, we can parameter the value inside the xpath such as,
//In this case we need the fifth cell value
int j = 5;
WebElement element = null;
for(int i = 0; i< 10;i++)
{
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td["+j+"]"));
System.out.println(element.getText());
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
In the case if you need to have all five cell values,
WebElement element = null;
for(int i = 1; i<=5;i++)
{
element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td["+i+]"));
System.out.println(element.getText());
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
Just construct a loop accordingly.
Hope this helps you. Thanks.

Select UI Element by filtering properties in coded ui

I have a web application. And I am using coded ui to write automated tests to test the application.
I have a dropdown with a text box. Which on entering values in the textbox, the values in the dropdown gets filtered based on the text entered.
If I type inside textbox like 'Admin', I will get below options like this:
And I need to capture the two options displayed.
But using IE Developer tool (F12), I am not able to capture the filtered options, because the options that are displayed do not have any unique property (like this below). And the options that are NOT displayed have a class="hidden" property
Any way to capture the elements that are displayed by applying some kind of filter like 'Select ui elements whose class != hidden'
Thanks in advance!!
HI please try below code will it works for you or not.By traversing all those controls that have class ="hidden"
WpfWindow mainWindow = new WpfWindow();
mainWindow.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlControl.PropertyNames.ClassName, "hidden");
UITestControlCollection collection = mainWindow.FindMatchingControls();
foreach (UITestControl links in collection)
{
HtmlHyperlink mylink = (HtmlHyperlink)links;
Console.WriteLine(mylink.InnerText);
}
I'm not sure there is a way to do it by search properties, but there are other approaches.
One way would be to brute force difference the collections. Find all the list items, then find the hidden ones and do a difference.
HtmlControl listControl = /* find the UL somehow */
HtmlControl listItemsSearch = new HtmlControl(listControl);
listItemsSearch.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlControl.PropertyNames.TagName, "li");
HtmlControl hiddenListItemsSearch = new HtmlControl(listControl);
hiddenListItemsSearch.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlControl.PropertyNames.TagName, "li");
hiddenListItemsSearch.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlControl.PropertyNames.ClassName, "hidden");
var listItems = listItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls().Except(hiddenListItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls());
You will only be able to iterate this collection one time so if you need to iterate multiple times, create a function that returns this search.
var listItemsFunc = () => listItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls().Except(hiddenListItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls());
foreach(var listItem in listItemsFunc()){
// iterate 1
}
foreach(var listItem in listItemsFunc()){
// iterate 2
}
The other way I would consider doing it would be to filter based on the controls which have a clickable point and take up space on the screen (ie, not hidden).
listItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls().Where(x => {
try { x.GetClickablePoint(); return x.Width > 0 && x.Height > 0; } catch { return false; }
});

document.createTextNode not working :/

So i am making this program where i need to create an ordered list with lots of list elements inside. This is the code:
for(i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
document.createElement("ls").appendChild(document.createTextNode(eval(numbers[i])));
document.getElementById("list").appendChild(document.createElement("ls"));
}
It only creates the list elements, it doesn't put the text nodes anywhere in the html document. :/
Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? Would really help me out.
Instead of adding the "ls" element you've created on the first row to the "list" element, you're creating a new (empty) one and adding it.
Change it to:
var ls = document.createElement("ls").appendChild(document.createTextNode(eval(numbers[i])));
document.getElementById("list").appendChild(ls);

MFC displaying multiple-lines of text in Edit Control box

I am trying to implement a tool that displays file names.
I would like to do this by using SetWindowText() method.
However, When I was trying to use this method in a loop,
the text is displayed in one line and it is continuously refreshed.
here is code snippet
for (int i = 0; i<10; i++)
{
SetWindowText(filenames);
}
please help.! thanks.
SetWindowText replaces the current window text with the string you provide.
So, if you want to show multiple lines with it, you first have to create a multi-line string.
A quick example:
CStringArray names;
// Fill names
CString str;
for (INT_PTR i = 0; i < names.GetCount() ; ++i)
{
str += names[i] + _T("\r\n");
}
c_MyEdit.SetWindowText(str);
Another time-tested method of showing multiple names at once is the list box. MFC provides a nice wrapper with the CListBox Class (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y04ez4c9%28v=vs.80%29.aspx). This has the added benefit of being scrollable and (optionally) sortable if the list is long.
