Re: Unittest for tdf#130515

Hi,

The Text property of the control, and of its model, contains the text
typed by the user in that control, not the text displayed, and not a
rendering of the value in the control.

To get the displayed text, get the peer of the _view_ of the control.

Something like:

 model = document.getDrawPage().getForms().getByIndex(0).getByName("Time Field 1")
 view  = document.getCurrentController()
 cntrl = view.getControl(model)
 peer = cntrl.getPeer()

Then examine peer.Text
