Return Type

A String value.

IMPORTANT

  • The text to capture must be visible in the application window when the step runs.
  • The area is defined by pairs of coordinates that designate two diagonally opposite corners of a rectangle.
  • The GetVisibleText method may behave differently in different run sessions depending on the operating system version you are using, service packs you have installed, other installed toolkits, or the APIs used in your application. Therefore, when possible, it is highly recommended to use the GetROProperty Method or the Object property to retrieve the value of the text (or equivalent) property from an object in your application instead of using the GetVisibleText method.
  • By default, when UFT One captures text for a text/text area checkpoint or output value step using the GetText, GetTextLocation, or GetVisibleText methods, it tries to retrieve the text directly from the object using a Windows API-based mechanism. If UFT One cannot capture the text this way (for example, because the text is part of a picture), it tries to capture the text using an OCR (optical character recognition) mechanism. For details about changing this behavior, see the Can QuickTest Professional Text Recognition behavior be modified Knowledgebase article (number KM202721).
