I am trying to automate a scenario using silk test and am very new to coding using vb.net. Basically i have a checkbox identified and want to set it to either true or false based on a string value being passed.

for e.g. 

Dim tfnSigned As String
tfnSigned = "Yes"
If tfnSigned = "Yes"
Then .CheckBox("SED_TFNSignedCheckBox").Check
End If

In this case, i get a compiler error as .CheckBox is not identified as a class and hence cannot use the Check method

Kindly help

Cheers

Checkboxes accepts only Boolean values which is either True or False.

The syntax is pretty much straightforward and can be easily found on Google

Here I assume that SED_TFNSignedCheckBox is the name of your checkbox control.

Dim tfnSigned As String
tfnSigned = "Yes"

If tfnSigned = "Yes" Then
     SED_TFNSignedCheckBox.Checked = True
End If

To use the .Checkbox() method you need to be in the correct context, i.e. it should appear in a With..End With statement. the best way to get the syntax correct is to use the Silk Test Recorder to record a checking the checkbox, this will generate something like this.

With _desktop.Dialog("locator of dialog")
   .CheckBox("SED_TFNSignedCheckBox").Check
End With

So your complete code would look something like this ...

Dim tfnSigned As String
tfnSigned = "Yes"
If tfnSigned = "Yes" Then
  With _desktop.Dialog("locator of dialog")
    .CheckBox("SED_TFNSignedCheckBox").Check
  End With
End If

Hope that helps.
