ShowMessage Step In-Place Editing
Steps displayed in the Test Steps table can be edited in-line by clicking on a step parameters field (column) and manually editing the parameter values in-place, or by editing parameter values in the drop-down box.
To edit a ShowMessage test step:
Select the step in the Test Steps table. Edit the step parameters as follows:
- Session: This column stores the session Id when this step is executed. This information is not editable.
- Return Variable: This column stores the response that you enter when this step is executed. This field is not editable and it automatically stores the response when the ShowMessage step is executed.
- Command String: This contains the command editor which is used to enter the Display Message, Input Type, and Response Configuration. Click on the drop-down arrow to open the command editor.
Description of the fields in the command editor are as follows:
Display MessageThis field allows you to enter the message that appears when the ShowMessage step is executed.
Input TypeThis field allows you to select the response input type. You can select Multiple choice or Text Input.
Select Multiple choice, if you want the message to show a list of available responses and requires you to select a response from the available ones when the ShowMessage step is executed.
Select Text Input, if you want the message to show a text input box in which you have to type in textual information.
Response ConfigurationThis option is used to define the acceptable response when the ShowMessage step is executed. The Response Configuration is dependent on the selected Input Type.
If you select Multiple choice as the Input Type, enter the Response Text. You can enter at most 10 responses. Also, indicate the default response by selecting IsDefault against the Response Text. When the ShowMessage step is executed this response is selected by default.
If you select Text Input as the Input Type, a text editor opens in the Response Configuration section and you can enter a default response text. You can also choose not to leave it blank. When the ShowMessage step is executed the default response appears in the Message dialog box.
Click Ok after you have finished editing the Command String.
