Breaking Change

Before you upgrade your Test Automation for Micro Focus Win-Forms (Unified Functional Testing) software projects to the 2006 Volume 3 release, you should be aware of breaking changes that were made that could potentially impact the behavior or building of your application

WinFormattedLinkLabel

The format for the "key" parameter in the EditorButton action has been modified to support identifying buttons via the visible index in the editor’s buttons collection instead of indentifying via the key. This change was necessary to eliminate replay problems regarding editor buttons with empty or non-unique keys.

The following actions were affected:

  • EditorButtonClick

  • EditorSpinButtonClick

  • EditorButtonDropDown

  • EditorButtonCloseUp

  • EditorButtonCheck

In previous versions, the “key“parameter was formatted as:

"[button location];[button key]"

So if the user clicked the first button on the right (with key = "First"), this was recorded as:

SwfLabel("UltraFormattedLinkLabel1").EditorButtonClick "R;First"

Due to this breaking change, this line will not be replayed properly in 2006 Vol 3.

In 2006 Vol. 3, the parameter is formatted as:

"[button location];[button visible index]"

And this action is recorded as:

SwfLabel("UltraFormattedLinkLabel1").EditorButtonClick "R;0"

To enable existing test scripts using one of the editor button actions listed above to replay properly on 2006 Vol. 3, each button key must be changed to its visible index (0-based index).
