Drag and Drop functionality using testcomplete

I want to simulate a drag and drop functionality from one DevXtraGridcell to another DevXtraGridcell without using the coordinate system.

Can someone give me an idea how can I do it without the default record and play and without the source and destination cordinates.

Solution

  • The Drag action always uses coordinates, but you can calculate the coordinates on the fly instead of using hard-coded coordinates:

    1. Explore your grid in TestComplete's Object Browser and find a method or property that returns cell coordinates. According to this old blog post, it should be something like:

      gridObj.MainView.ViewInfo.RowsInfo.GetInfoByHandle(Row).Cells.Item_2(Column).Bounds

    2. Calculate the coordinates of the first and second cell. (Make sure that both cells are visible on the screen.)

    3. Do the Drag from one first cell's coordiantes to the second cell's coordinates.
