How To use "Find" Method with multipe properties and values in connected application (C# Code)

[Ivg]

Hi,

I am able to pass single property and value, how to pass multiple properties and values to identify the object?

C# arrays are not supported

Something like this is also not working:

var propNames = "text,Enabled";
var propValues = "Simulate,True";

...["Find"](propNames, propValues, 100, false);

How can I pass array as a parameter?

Thanks!

Try something like this.

 propNames = new Array ("text","Enabled");

It's not working, it's not like JScript/C# Script or something like that.

'Array' in C# is an abstract class

[Ivg]

'PropNames' and 'PropValues' should be of 'var' type.

When I'm looking at the TestComplete's 'var' type declaration, I can see the supported types 'var' can get in his c'tor.

There aren't any arrays there.

Is it impossible to use multiple names & values when writing connected app in C#?

I use multi-part searches in C# Script.

var typeARR = Array("VCLClass", "Caption");

var valueARR = Array("class_name", "caption_text");

var do_search = panel_object["FindAllChildren"](typeARR, valueARR, 3, true);

Works fine for me.

Not embedded within a C# application though. Just run as a scripted test within TestComplete. Not sure about it if it's embedded in the application ...

Hi Colin,

Yes, this will work for C#Script from TestComplete, but not for pure C# from the Connected Application. And this is what was requested in the initial thread message.

@Ivg, if no solution was found yet, I would recommend to ask Support directly via the http://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestComplete form.

Ah right.

Wasn't quite sure.

In which case, is this:

Any help? It has a reply using FindAllChildren with multiple properties/values in C#. Although, there is no reply to say if it worked or not?

Interesting...

Thank you a lot, Colin, for the link!

Can't check at the moment if the referenced code can be built (at least), so any comment from @Ivg is appreciated.

Colin, thanks for the link!

It helped.

No problem.
