Re: [Wtr-general] FreeTextBox & Watir
I've got a line open with the author of FTB to see why this is. When you
include the free version of FTB, all you get is a DLL to link into your
project. I'm hoping that the author will be able to give me a little more
insight into the pieces that are being displayed.
I do know about the frame (there are actually two of them), but I'm unsure on
why they are there, or how/if I should be able to actually set text on the
fields.
For now I have a clumsy workaround - sleep for 15 seconds while I paste the
text into the field. Its frustrating that I could not do
ie.text_area(:id,"ctl0_MainBody_PolicyHtmlEditor").set("hi")
on the object. Grrr.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you have to find the way around. LOL.

So it is. You realize you have a frame or iframe there, right?
That's the "HTML Document" bit.

Re: [Wtr-general] FreeTextBox & Watir
Well using ie.show_active has given me very interesting results.
What I had expected to be my text_field to be active was something totally
different.
=> "HTML Document name=
id=ctl0_MainBody_PolicyHtmlEditor_designEditor
src=about:blank innerText=\n"
irb(main):305:0>
Clicking on the various dropdown that let me choose the attributes of the font
displays what I expected - a series of select-one's
Clicking on any of the font styling/formatting buttons (like Bold, Strikethru,
centered, left-justified) also returns the HTML document type.
I'm going to play around with this a little more. It is very interesting
though.

these things tend to intercept all the keystrokes too, so perhaps its harder

If you click in it and then from irb do
ie.show_active
you should see some of the details about it.
If I get some time later today, I'll give it a go

Re: [Wtr-general] FreeTextBox & Watir
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the suggestion.
We're using FreeTextBox in an Iframe, but when I try to access the field, I'm
getting
WIN32OLERuntimeError: focus
OLE error code:800A083E in htmlfile
Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or
of a type that does not accept the focus.
I can read lots of attributes from the field (contents, name, id, etc), but it
does not appear that I am able to *set* any value for it.
So now I'm multitasking - tossing it to the list while I go searching the world
for the answer. Wish me luck!

Ive never tried to test one, but Ive looked at similar things for inclusion in
some projects Ive been working on.
They are normally just a text area, so:
ie.text_field(:index,1).set('Hello, world")
should probably do it

Hi listfolks.
Has anyone had to try to test a page that
is using FreeTextBox?
www.freetextbox.com
I’d like to chat with you if you
have.
Thanks
