Hello Surendranath,

It sounds like you want to Data Drive the Find Expression, which currently can only be done in Coded Step. This feature will be incorporated into the UI for our next major release, however. See our Roadmap page for more details.

Here's an example against Bing.com:

HtmlAnchor a = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByContent<HtmlAnchor>(Data["Col1"].ToString());
Assert.IsNotNull(a);
a.Click();

My local data table has one column, named Col1, and contains five entries:

1. Explore
2. Images
3. Videos
4. Shopping
5. News

Ensure the DataEnabled box is checked for the test under Test Properties on the Project tab. If you're using the VS plugin, find Test Properties here.

Kind regards,

Very sorry for late reply .

Thanks Anthony for your prompt response .

I got one more problem . I have a RadPanelBar containing a list box . I tried to pick the list item and clik the list item .

I wanted to use Data driven testing for this and Tried the following code .

//--------------------------------------------------------------

 

Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Html.RadPanelBarItem ListItem1 = Find.ByExpression<Telerik.WebAii.Controls.Html.RadPanelBarItem>(

 

"id=pbTemplates", "|",Data["Col1"].ToString());

 

 

 

 

//MessageBox.Show(ListItem1.InnerText.ToString());

 

 

ListItem1.Select();

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm passing two parameters in the above step . One is "ID" and the second one is "tagIndex" , as ID is id of radpanelbar it is constant and the "tagIndex" is the index of list item which I wanted to pass from data table .

the problem I'm facing is , It is  clicking on last list item in the column .

Could you please help me to get the solution for this.

Thanks in advance .

Best Regards ,
Surendranath

Hello Surendranath,

In my testing of this Telerik HTML RadPanelBar site, I observed that the DOM is actually composed of Div, List, and ListItem elements. The following code worked for me:

//Get the parent Div by Id
HtmlDiv d = Find.ById<HtmlDiv>("RadPanelBar1");

//Get the first child Div by index
HtmlDiv d2 = d.Find.ByTagIndex<HtmlDiv>("div", 0);

//Convert index number from data source to integer
int idx = Convert.ToInt32(Data["Col1"].ToString());

//Get a child ListItem by index and click it
HtmlListItem li = d2.Find.ByTagIndex<HtmlListItem>("li", idx);
li.MouseClick();
