copied!<p>Here's a solution that uses the <code>sourceIndex</code> attribute, note that <code>sourceIndex</code> is an IE only property but QTP simulates it on Firefox so the same script will work on both browsers. You can choose to use coordinate based properties like <code>abs_x</code> and <code>abs_y</code> if <code>source_index</code> doesn't fit the bill.</p> <p>The code that follows answers the question as asked, making it into a general function is left as an exercise for the reader ;o)</p> <pre><code>''#1. Create description for locator text Set textD = Description.Create() textD("micclass").Value = "WebElement" textD("innertext").Value = ".*Item XYZ-123.*" ''#2. Find locator sourceIndex set texts = Browser("B").Page("P").ChildObjects(textD) Set text = texts(texts.Count-1) ' Take last text ' textIdx = text.GetROProperty("source_index") ' works for FF too ' ''#3. Create description for button Set buttonD = Description.Create() buttonD("micclass").Value = "WebButton" buttonD("value").Value = "Delete" Set btns = Browser("B").Page("P").ChildObjects(buttonD) ''#4. Find first button after locator text For i = 0 To btns.Count If btns(i).GetROProperty("source_index") > textIdx Then btns(i).Click ' Or whatever you want to do with it ' Exit For End If Next </code></pre> <p><strong>Things to note about this solution:</strong></p> <ul> <li>It doesn't assume anything about the element containing the text, if you know that this is the entire text in the element you can remove the <code>.*</code>s and/or add an "html tag" for much better performance. <ul> <li>That's why we take the last element that fits the description, the first element will be the <code>BODY</code> etc.</li> </ul></li> <li>In the text's description we have to specify "micclass" = "WebElement" because by default <code>ChildObject</code> filters out <code>WebElement</code>s assuming that they are un-interesting.</li> </ul>
