WbfGrid Object

Description

A .NET Web Forms DataGrid object.

IMPORTANT

By default, UFT One recognizes a grid as a WbfGrid test object if:

  • The object's class attribute contains the string "DataGrid"

OR

  • The object's id attribute contains either "DataGrid" or "GridView"

If your grid does not meet one of these criteria, UFT One may recognize your grid as a WebTable test object.  For more information, see the Troubleshooting and Limitations page in the .NET Add-in in the Add-ins section of the UFT One Help Center.
