Is it possible to pass variables on FindChild methods?
For example (in Jscript):
var parent = Aliases.Program.MainWindow;
var child = new Array(100);
for(var i =0; i<100; i++)
{
child[i] = parent.FindChild( ["WndClass", "Index"], ["Button", i], 2, true);
}
Been trying to get the state of each object child[i].wState, but it seems like it always fail to get the object.
Yes, you can pass in a variable like that to your FindChild method, but what may be happening is you're encountering a child object that doesn't have a State property. You may want to use FindAllChildren (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/test-objects/members/common-for-all/findallchildren-method.html), passing in object properties to limit the search.
I have tried to use the FindAllChildren method, however it's too hard for me to use because on the window that i test consist of a lot of check boxes and radio buttons. The object properties i can use to limit the search is only the WndCaption and WndClass.
Or do you have any other suggestion of technique i can use? My current test purposes is to make sure all these check boxes and radio buttons always work properly.
Thank you for your reply, will!
However the objects that i want to map do have wState.
I tried to use the method as follow:
child[i] = parent.FindChild( ["WndClass", "Index"], ["Button", 45], 2, true).wState;
And it's working, however if i change the index 45 to the i variables, i got the error: "Unable to find the object wState. See Additional Information for details."
Do you KNOW you have 45 children? There should be a child count property (or something named very similarly) on the parent object, which you can use as the upper limit in your loop.
That is one of the object button, I got the value 45 which is the property value of the property name "Index" using the Object Spy.
So in this case there're a lot of check boxes and radio buttons (there are like hundreds of them) that arranged in rows and columns.
One of the test case is that I need to make the testing for each desired rows only.
Using the Object Spy, i figured that the property value of the property name "Index" of the buttons in the same row is in sequence (for example in row 5, there are 9 buttons with the property value of the property name "Index" are: 37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45).
Therefore I plan to use loop with FindChild to taking care of the mapping, but the loop i made before is not working.
