How to verify specific section of Windows App text matches the Set Text input?

Hello,

I’m pretty new to Katalon, but I’m curious if I can check if a block of text generated by a Windows application I’m testing contains the text I initially provided as input via “Set Text” from a data variable.

I’ve tried getting the text but the contents are saved as the “locator” within the application and I’m not sure if I can access them for testing.

You can do something similar like this suggestion. You just need to change the WebUI keywords from the solution to Window keywords.

You need to either capture the value from the getText, (see the link in @chen.lee above) because otherwise the “gotten” text goes nowhere, or use the getText in a comparison, like below.

assert  Windows.getText(findWindowsObject('Object Repository/BDAR3/Text')) == "your text here"
