RadWindow and Selenium

[Sergey]

Is there any way to set value to some radtextbox or another control inside radwindow using Selenium?
I need in my test press button which opens radwindow, set values to textboxes and click submit.
I can't get access to controls inside radwindow

Hi Sergey,

You could use RadWindow's client-side api to get a reference to a control which is inside it.
$find('RadWindowClientID').get_contentFrame() method returns a reference to the IFRAME, in which the content page of the RadWindow is displayed. To gain access to the content page itself, you need to use its contentWindow property, e.g. $find('RadWindowClientID').get_contentFrame().contentWindow.

A simple step which simulates a click over a button should looks as the one below:

getEval

$find('RadWindow1').get_contentFrame().contentWindow.$get("ButtonId").click()

Let us know if you have any other questions.

We create test with .net driver and use ISelenium to control tests flow.
i am trying to get access to rad control in rad window and use

this.page().getCurrentWindow().GetRadWindowManager().getActiveWindow().get_contentFrame().contentWindow.$find('someControlIdLocatedInRadWindow')

and it says me there is no $find() in contex of value returned with contentWindow.

I call
ISelenium.RunScript() and use string above as parameter

Hi Sergey,

Note that for this code to work the content page must be on the same server as the RadWindow - otherwise the browser's security mechanism will not allow you cross-browser scripting.

I am trying to write values in zip masked telerik text box field using selenium ide and i am using getEval function and by following command ide is able to identify document.
document.getElementById('pldc_md1844_C_mc1844_ModuleModule_1844_InsuranceProviderComponent1_CompanyZipText')
But i am unable to write value using any function like: 
document.getElementById('pldc_md1844_C_mc1844_ModuleModule_1844_InsuranceProviderComponent1_CompanyZipText').set_Value("12345-6789");

Then it is displaying following error message: 
[error] Threw an exception: document.getElementById("pldc_md1844_C_mc1844_ModuleModule_1844_InsuranceProviderComponent1_CompanyZipText") is null

So please let me know how can i put values in this control.

Hi Manish,

It is recommended to set value to a RadMaskedTextBox (or any type of Telerik RadInput textbox) by using the control's API - obtain a reference to the textbox with $find("_control_client_id_here_") and then use set_value()

Hi Manish,

It looks like the MS AJAX library is not loaded on the page. All ASP.NET AJAX controls, including RadControls are based on that library and they need it on the page. What happens is that when you try to execute the $find()(it is part of MS AJAX library) function in a earlier stage of the page life cycle, the library will still not be loaded on the page which will cause the error.
I suppose that you need to call JavaScript code from codebehind. In this case I believe that this blog post(you need to implement the described approach in Java yourself) will be of help.
