    You need to keep track of childObj so you can go back to the next one when you've been down one tree.  You're resetting it every time so by the time you get to the end of the first tree, you have no where else to go.

     

    Just curious, what will this list be used for?

The list make devloping script extension to TC of our products alot easier.

I've only started with one portion of the product but notice that i've run across alot of the re-mapping to get the name/caption  of the object thats visible on screen , this way i can use use"Find/FindChild", to locate the object and interact with it.

 

an example:

 

the TC extension i have created is a new sub-section of the Keyword Operation.

within this section i have items like:

 

Dialog - Confirm :

Grid - Context Menu

Tab - Select

Tab  - tabName - Toolbar

Primary Toolbar

etc.

 

so when i create a new keyword operation test, i would drag the primar toobar item to the test

and it would allow me to select which button in the toolbar i want to click on

then if i m expeting input etc, i can drag those in and fill in the input

and so forth

once done

i can drag the primary toolbar and select 'save' to save the entry 

 

when this is run it will click on teh button, does data input, etc. and click save at the end. With this way, i can create multiple scenarios without having to code or recall script functions for new items.

I can just drag the operation i have created into the keyword test and select what i want it to do and in what order.

ive found a solution using : 

set childobjs =CreateObject("System.Collection.ArrayList")

 

 

class objtest
  public objList
  public name 
  private sub Class_Initialize
    set objList=CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
  end sub
end class


function fractal(innerobj,parent)
  'go through all child
  count=count+1
  VisChilds = innerobj.FindAllChildren("visible","true",1)
  if ubound(vischilds)<0 then
    if innerobj.Name <>"" then 
      log.Message "parent: " & parent.name & ", This Object: " & innerobj.Name
    else
      log.Message innerobj.FullName
    end if
      
  else
    set childObj = new Objtest
    childobj.name = innerobj.fullname
    for i =  0 to ubound(visChilds)
      childObj.objList.Add visChilds(i)
    next
    for i=0 to childobj.objList.count-1
      fractal childobj.ObjList.item(i),innerobj
    next
  end if  
end function
sub Test
     set obj = sys.process("applicationInstanceName")
     fractal obj, obj
     log.message count
end sub

At this same time, i can also look for objects that are in the background and not visible, but this is basically give me what i need to do the coding i need to do. The only catch of course is that it has to be on screen which isnt a problem as i need it to be onscreen anyway.

 

if there's any other suggestion i would be more than happy to read through and try or if there's suggestion on a better way of doing it. (i dont need the class i m sure and just create the object arraylist in the function and it should still create a space in memory for the list to loop through.
