If...Then...Else Statement

Relevant for: GUI actions, scripted GUI components, and function libraries

This topic describes the If...Then...Else statement in VBScript. For Python syntax and guidelines, see the official Python documentation.

The If...Then...Else statement instructs OpenText Functional Testing to perform a statement or a series of statements based on specified conditions. If a condition is not fulfilled, the next Elseif condition or Else statement is examined. It has the following syntax:

If condition1 Then
	statement
ElseIf condition2 Then
	statement
Else
	statement
End If

Item	Description
condition	Condition to be fulfilled.
statement	Statement to be perform.

Example: In the following example, if the price of a product is greater than $2,000, OpenText Functional Testing closes the browser:

Price = Browser("Advantage Shopping").Page("Advantage Shopping").WebElement("$1,279.00").GetTOProperty("innertext")
If Price > 2000 Then
	Browser("Advantage Shopping").Close
Else 
	Browser("Advantage Shopping").Page("Advantage Shopping").WebElement("$1,279.00").Click
End If

The following example uses If, ElseIf, and Else statements to check whether a value is equal to 1, 2, or a different value:

value = 2
If value = 1 Then
    msgbox "one"
ElseIf value = 2 Then
    msgbox "two"
Else
    msgbox "not one or two"
End If
