SAPGuiTextTestObject

public SAPGuiTextTestObject(com.rational.test.ft.object.TestObjectReference ref)

SAPGuiTextTestObject

public SAPGuiTextTestObject(TestObject obj)
Constructs one TestObject from another. Both are references to the same Object.

Method Detail

invoke

public java.lang.Object invoke(java.lang.String method)
Invokes a method with no args on the object in the software under test. Note that this can directly modify the object in the software under test and therefore should be done with extreme care. Whenever possible, you should avoid using invoke, which allows you to modify the software under test in ways that a typical user cannot. If you use this method, you should be sure to discuss its use with the developers of the software you are testing.

If the returned object is not a value class, invoke registers the object and returns a reference to the object in the software under test. As always, registered object references should be released by calling one of the unregister methods.

Overrides:
invoke in class TestObject
Parameters:
method - The name of the method to be called
Returns:
See Also:
invoke(String,String,Object[]), TestObject.unregister(), RationalTestScript.unregister(Object[]), RationalTestScript.unregisterAll(), RationalTestScript.getRegisteredTestObjects()

invoke

public java.lang.Object invoke(java.lang.String method,                                java.lang.String methodSignature,                                java.lang.Object[] args)
Invokes a method on the object in the software under test. Note that this can directly modify the object in the software under test. You should therefore be extremely careful when you do this. Whenever possible, avoid using Invoke, which allows you to modify the software under test in ways that a typical user cannot. If you use this method, be sure to discuss its use with the developers of the software you are testing.

If the returned object is not a value class, invoke registers the object and returns a reference to the object in the software under test. Registered object references are released by calling one of the unregister methods.

The methodSignature uses JNI syntax to describe the parameter types and optionally the return value types for the method. The general syntax has the parameter types in parentheses, followed by the return type: (parameterTypes)returnType. Note that the returnType is not a required part of the signature - it can be omitted. There are specific encodings for the primitive types, and then a general encoding for class types.

CodeType
Zboolean
Bbyte
Cchar
Sshort
Iint
Jlong
Ffloat
Ddouble
Vvoid
Lfully-qualified-class;For example: Ljava.lang.string;

In addition, arrays are specified by combining the brace character '[' with another type. For example, [I is an array of integers, [[I is an array of arrays of integers and [Ljava.lang.Object; is an array of Objects. Another example:

void myMethod(long n, string s, int[] arr)

has the following signature:

(JLjava.lang.string;[I)V

Overrides:
invoke in class ClientTestObject
Parameters:
method - the name of the method to be called
methodSignature - the signature of the method to be called (using standard JNI syntax)
args - the arguments to be passed to the method
Returns:
See Also:
TestObject.unregister(), RationalTestScript.unregister(Object[]), RationalTestScript.unregisterAll(), RationalTestScript.getRegisteredTestObjects()

setCaretPosition

public void setCaretPosition(int position)
Sets the Position of the text caret within the text field.

Parameters:
position - the caret prosition.

setFocus

public void setFocus()
Sets the focus on to the object.


setText

public void setText(java.lang.String text)
Sets the text of the current control.

Specified by:
setText in interface IText
Overrides:
setText in class TextGuiTestObject
Parameters:
text -

dumpState

public TestObject[] dumpState(java.lang.String innerObject)
Dumps the state of the object. Refer to the SAP GUI Scripting Programming API for more information.

Parameters:
innerObject - Used to specify what internal object should be dumped (on supported controls)
Returns:

visualize

public boolean visualize(boolean on,                          java.lang.String innerObject)
Calling this method of a component will display a red frame around the specified component if the parameter on is true. The frame will be removed if on is false. Some components such as GuiCtrlGridView support displaying the frame around inner objects, such as cells. The format of the innerObject string is the same as for the dumpState method.

Parameters:
on - bool indicating whether or not the highlight rectangle should be on
innerObject -
Returns:

showContextMenu

public void showContextMenu()
