Getting the display text of an object - linden-scripting-language

I would like to know whether there is any mechanism to retrieve the display text of an object. As far as I know, there's no direct LSL function for that.
Isn't there any property that we can use to extract this information?

Assuming you mean the text that hovers over an object:
That text is set by calling llSetText, but there is no corresponding llGetText. Instead, you can use llGetPrimitiveParams with the constant PRIM_TEXT, like so:
list params = llGetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TEXT]);
string text = llList2String(params, 0);

How to Print the Disabled text from Geb/Groovy?

enter image description here
We are automating the UI Application, Our UI application have Disabled Text are present, so we need to Validate the Disabled text. Before validating, I have to Print the Disabled text, Please guide me to how to print the text using Geb/Groovy.
Please find the Image of HTML tag which i highlighted is the Disabled text
BNSF0000712570
BNSF0000712570
The selector above will yield multiple results, i.e. elements, if there is more than one element that matches the classes used in the By.cssSelector query.
To get only the element containing "BNSF0000712570", I would suggest you try to get it using the "ext:qtip" attribute instead (which I assume is unique per element containing a disabled text) on the div containing the disabled text:
def myText = $(“div[ext:qtip=‘Id: 0001’]”).text();
println myText;
assert myText == "BNSF0000712570";
#Saurabh Gar: Why would you use the WebDriver "By" class selectors? With Geb you have access to a wide range of simpler ways to write selectors, e.g. like the one used above.
You should try using By.cssSelector as below :-
def text = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("td.x-grid3-td-elementvalue").text
Or
def text = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("div.x-grid3-col-elementvalue").text
assert text == "BNSF0000712570"
println text
Note:- If still doesn't get the text need to share table HTML insteadof screenshot that's why, could make a best locator.
Hope it helps..:)

Codename One - get selected text from AutoComplete

How can I get the complete selected text from an AutoComplete TextField?
If I use getText(), I only get the few letters the user has input so far.
Example: I write "flo" and then select "Flowers" from the list, but getText() gives me "flo"
AutoCompleteTextField auto = new AutoCompleteTextField(arrayWithNames);
auto.setMinimumLength(4);
auto.addListListener((ActionEvent evt1) -> {
String lookedFor = auto.getText();
Hashtable<String,Object> match[] = findMatch(lookedFor);
if(hMatch.length>0){
contElements.removeAll();
for (Hashtable<String, Object> Match1 : match) {
...
...//fill the Container with the names found
...
}
}
});
How it works
I am using the AutoComplete TF as a search button.
I have an array with all the names in my list.
Then I populate the Auto with the array.
The user selects a name from the Auto and then I search the value that is being "lookedFor" using the findMatch(). It returns a new array with the found entries.
I need the complete name from the list so I can use the findMatch() method, but when I use getText() from the Auto, it only returns the letters the user entered, and not the whole name, so my method does not work, since I am comparing whole Strings.
(I am using the Auto because it is very convenient if people remember only a part of the name they are looking for)
If you subclass AutoCompleteTextField you can access the selected text internally via getSuggestionModel().getItemAt(getSuggestionModel().getSelectedIndex()). Now you can define a public getter method getSelectedText() or something on your derived class.
I am not sure you are using the AutoCompleteTextBox correctly.
The entire purpose of the AutoCompleteText box is to help you assist the user in selecting from a list of valid requests,
You should not be getting the value of getText() until the user is ready to submit the form where the AutoCompleteTB is located.
This WILL help if you haven't already looked here:

Good luck!

How to access to a Combo box value in Item Line on NetSuite?

In NETSUITE
is there any way to access to a value inside of a combo-box at the item line level?
I need to access to a value after inserting an item but all functions get me null value.
I have tried
nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue
and
nlapiGetFieldValue
Both functions are getting me null values.
Thanks,
Pablo.
In general (for user event and client script) below code should work
nlapiGetLineItemValue(LINE_ITEM_TYPE, YOUR_FIELD_ID, LINE_NUMBER);
eg on SO to get the line item Id:
nlapiGetLineItemValue('item', 'item', 1);
PS: Syntax is independent of data type or field type
If you mean combo box as a mulitselect, and if you're trying to access via User Event Script, use:
nlapiGetLineItemValues(type, fldname, linenum);
Note the 's' in nlapiGetLineItemValues
If its just a standard field, nlapiGetLineItemValue(type, fldname, linenum) should work.
Which call to use depends on what event you are capturing.
For instance if you are trying to access the value in a post sourcing, field changed or line validate event of a client script you would use nlapiGetCurrentLineItemValue('item', 'fieldname');

In HaxeFlixel, What is Box object and how to use it?

I'm trying to use FlxUICheckBox. In the official documentation, the constructor looks like this:
new(X:Float = 0, Y:Float = 0, ?Box:Dynamic, ..)
What is the Box object?
How should I send a Box object as a parameter to this constructor?
I should probably change it to BoxAsset. It's the image asset you want to use for the box part of the checkbox.
A simple checkbox has three components, and looks a bit like this:
[X] Checkbox
Box means the box part, "[ ]"
Check means the check part, "X"
Label means the text that goes in the textfield next to the checkbox
If you don't provide Box or Check, it will use default FlxUIAssets automatically to skin your checkbox. If you provide your own asset (such as "assets/mybox.png" for example), it will use that instead. It is expecting the same sort of thing you would pass into FlxSprite.loadGraphic() -- a String, a BitmapData, or a FlxGraphic.
I should probably also update the type from :Dynamic to :FlxGraphicAsset, I originally wrote this code a long time ago before they added that new helper type.

Make variable name using loop and string in PowerBuilder

I am interested if it is possible to make variable name in PowerBuilder using a loop and a string. For example:
long ll_go
string lst_new
for ll_go = 1 to 8
lst_new = "text" + ll_go
lst_new.tag = 5500
next
So, it should give me variables text1, text2..,.,text8 and I would be able to assign values for them. Let me know if anybody succeeded, thanks in advance
Your description is lacking some term precision.
If you actually want to dynamically create new variables as "variable in a powerscript subroutine or function" this is simply not possible.
If instead you want to create dynamically some new controls statictext or textedit objects in a window or visual userobject this is possible:
use a local variable of the type of the new object you need to create, e.g. static text
make it a live object (instantiate) with create
set the object properties to whatever you need
"attach" the new object to its parent (either a window or a visual userobject - though any graphicobject is possible with using the win32api SetParent function) with the OpenUserObject() method. Note that you cannot simply add it directly to the parent's Control[] array.
you can also keep the object in your own array for later convenience access to the created objects instead of looping on the Control[] array
once the object is attached it its parent, you can reuse the local variable to create another one
Here is an example:
//put this in a button clicked() event on a window
//i_myedits is declared in instances variables as
//SingleLineEdit i_myedits[]
SingleLineEdit sle
int i
for i = 1 to 8
sle = create singlelineedit
sle.text = string(i)
sle.tag = "text_" + string(i)
sle.height = pixelstounits(20, ypixelstounits!)
sle.width = pixelstounits(100, xpixelstounits!)
parent.openuserobject(sle, pixelstounits(10, xpixelstounits!), pixelstounits(22 * i, ypixelstounits!))
i_myedits[i] = sle //keep our own reference
next
An exemple of values access:
//put that in another button clicked() event
SingleLineEdit sle
int i
string s_msg
for i = 1 to upperbound(i_myedits[])
sle = i_myedits[i]
if i > 1 then s_msg += "~r~n"
s_msg += "edit #" + string(i) + " (" + sle.tag + ") says '" + sle.text + "'"
next
messagebox("Edits values", s_msg)
As you can see, one practicality problem is that you cannot refer to these controls by constructing the control's name like "text"+2, instead you must access the my edits[] array or loop through the controls and test their .tag property if you set it to something specific.
I do not think that it is possible. Workaround could be an array maybe.

I'd see two ways to do this, but they aren't as easy as it seems that you were hoping:
1. Control Array
First method would be to go through the control arrays (on windows, tabs and user objects). I'd create a function that took the control name as a string, then another that overloaded the same function and took control name and an array of windowobject. The string-only method would just call the string/array method, passing the string through and adding the window.Control as the second parameter. The string/array method would go through the array, and for each element, get the ClassDefinition. Pull the name off of it, and parse it apart the way you want it to match the string parameter (e.g. for w_test`tab_first`tabpage_first`cb_here, do you want cb_here to match, or tab_first`tabpage_first`cb_here?). Deal with matches as appropriate. When you find a control of type tab or user object, call the string/array function again with the Control array from that object; deal with success/fail returns as appropriate.
2. DataWindow
What you're describing works extremely well with DataWindows, and their Describe() and Modify() functions. Since you pass these functions only a string, you can build not only the control names, but the values they're set to as you would build any string. In fact, you can build multiple Modify() strings together (delimited by a space) and make a single call to Modify(); this is not only faster, but reduces window flicker and visible activity.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking that, since your data isn't from a database, you can't use a DataWindow. Create an external DataWindow, and simply use it with one row inserted during the Constructor event.
As you might guess, I'd strongly favour the DataWindow approach. Not only is it going to perform better, but it's going to provide a lot more flexibility when you want to move on and tag more control types than just static text. (You'll have to do some type casting even with one control type, but if you want to get into multiples, you'll need to start a CHOOSE CASE to handle all your types.)
Good luck,
Terry
You can't create a variable name in a script because the variables have to be declared before you can use them. With PBNI it's possible to generate a name the way you describe and then get a reference to a variable of that name that already exists but I don't think that's what you want. If you want to keep track of additional properties for your controls, just inherit a new user object from whatever it is (sle, mle, etc.) and add the properties you want. Then you can place your user object on a window and use the properties. Another approach is to use the control's Tag property. It holds a string that you can put whatever you want in. PFC uses this technique. Terry's DataWindow solution is a good approach for storing arbitrary data.
Yes, and there are more than one way to skin a cat.
Sounds like you have several properties so I'd use an array of custom non visual user objects, or an array of structures. Otherwise you could probably use something from the .NET framework like a dictionary object or something like that, or a datawidnow using an external datasource, where you can refer to column names as col + ll_index.ToString().
SIMPLE Example:
Make custom NVO with following instance variables, plus getter/setter functions for each, name it n_single_field
// add the properties and recommend getter and setter functions
public string myTag
public string myText
public int myTabOrder
...
// To USE the NVO define an unbounded array
n_single_field fields[]
// to process the populated fields
integer li_x, li_max_fields
// loop through field 1 through max using array index for field number
li_max_fields = upperbound(fields)
for li_x = 1 to li_max_fields
fields[li_x].myTag = 'abc'
fields[li_x].myText = 'text for field number ' + li_x.ToString()
fields[li_x].myTabOrder = li_x * 10
next
Maybe I'm oversimplifying if so let me know, if there is a will there is always a way. ;)
