Get Java Object Text

Retrieve the text of an object in the active Java application and place it into a new or existing variable.

Support and Prerequisites: See Java Automation Commands Support and Prerequisites.

1. Select the Java object whose text you would like to retrieve.

   After selecting the object, the following buttons become available (when relevant):

   • Click an object

   • Expand selection

   • Narrow selection

   • Highlight selected object

   • Use right-click for selection

   • Tree view

     

     Highlighting items with blue while hovering them is set to be off by default. To change that, change the key value <add key="FeatureFlag_JavaHighlight" value="false" /> to "true" in the appsettings.config file of the Studio.

2. Enter the name of the variable into which you would like to place the text of the selected object.

3. Expand the Choose Java search method option to select by platform (Default, Awt, Swing, or JavaFx).

4. Expand the Error handling option to provide instructions to the wizard on how to manage encountered errors. For more information on error handling, see Error handling.
