Can you count the number of emails in Gmail’s standard view?

Object Identification in QTP, Tips and Tricks in QTP

Seeing similar queries often in my mail box these days, so I decided to record a couple of videos.

In case, If you haven’t counted emails in standard view (of Gmail) using QTP earlier, I would suggest you to attempt it now.  It becomes a bit interesting especially if you have never worked on frames before. Also watch the videos below it has a couple of methods to deal with dynamic objects and frame objects.

Counting number of emails in basic HTML view…

Counting number of emails in standard view…

This is the function in the videos above to extract the number from Inbox string -

msgbox mid(strText, instr(1,strText,"(") + 1, (instr(1,strText,")") - instr(1,strText,"(") - 1))

Thanks you Ankur. Nice piece of work. But the only problem with this code displayed in video to capture the no of emails is, it will fail if there is no emails. Following code will work for both the situation.
This is for HTML view.

vMails = Browser(“Gmail – Inbox”).Page(“Gmail – Inbox”).Link(“Inbox (15)”).GetROProperty(“text”)

vP1 = Instr(1, vMails, “(“,1)
vP2 = Instr(1, vMails, “)”,1)
If vP1 0 AND vP2 0 Then
vMails = Mid(vMails, vP1 + 1, vP2 – vP1 -1 )
Else
vMails = 0
End If
Msgbox “You have “&vMails&” New Emails”

@Rashmikant: Correct. The idea was to show the approach. It can be customized depending upon the requirement.

It is an excellent Idea. you are correct we can customize according to the requirement. I just want to share the point of customization that we can do with this beautiful idea. I greatly appreciate your inputs in the field of Test Automation. I love this website and learned a lot when I was preparing for QTP certification which I cleared last month with the great help of this website.

Ankur,

Can you please explain how to check whether the last page is displayed or not when we click on “Last button” from the pagination bar.

Sibina

#12 Pratap H S on 10.20.10 at 10:44

sibina , capture the last page object and check with .Exists or u can take the last page unique property and check weather its returning TRUE or FALSE .

@Rashmikant Parmar IN your code above
I was trying to figure out if the below code is correct ?
If vP1 0 AND vP2 0 Then
vMails = Mid(vMails, vP1 + 1, vP2 – vP1 -1 )
Else
vMails = 0
End If

#18 rashmikant parmar on 01.22.11 at 05:58

@ Viplav
Mails = Browser(“Gmail – Inbox”).Page(“Gmail – Inbox”).Link(“Inbox (15)”).GetROProperty(“text”)

vP1 = Instr(1, vMails, “(“,1)
vP2 = Instr(1, vMails, “)”,1)
If vP10 AND vP20 Then
vMails = Mid(vMails, vP1 + 1, vP2 – vP1 -1 )
Else
vMails = 0
End If
Msgbox “You have “&vMails&” New Emails”

#19 Viplav on 01.25.11 at 23:03
