WebEdit description properties

Object description properties can be used in the object repository description, in programmatic descriptions, in checkpoint and output value steps, and as argument values for the GetTOProperty and GetROProperty methods.

The WebEdit test object supports the description properties listed in the table below.

For a list of the run-time object's native properties and methods see:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535841.aspx

Property Name

Description

abs_x

The object's absolute x-coordinate (left) relative to the screen (in pixels). 0,0 is always the top-left corner of the (primary) monitor.

If you are working with multiple monitors, the coordinate in the secondary monitor is relative to the primary monitor.

For example, given a resolution of 1280 x 1024 in the primary monitor, if the secondary monitor is positioned to the right of the primary monitor, the x-coordinate is 1280 or greater. If the secondary monitor is placed to the left of the primary monitor, the x-coordinate is negative.

abs_y

The object's absolute y-coordinate (top) relative to the screen (in pixels). 0,0 is always the top-left corner of the (primary) monitor.

If you are working with multiple monitors, the coordinate in the secondary monitor is relative to the primary monitor.

For example, given a resolution of 1280x1024 in the primary monitor, if the secondary monitor is positioned below the primary monitor, the y-coordinate is 1024 or greater. If the secondary monitor is placed above the primary monitor, the y-coordinate is negative.

acc_nameThe label of the object (where no text label is available).

class

The object's class (className property).

css

The path to the object in CSS format.

For example: tr.BPTRow input

Note: This property can only be used in the object repository description and in programmatic descriptions. It cannot be used in checkpoints or output values, or as argument values for the GetTOProperty and GetROProperty methods.

default value

The initial value of the object, which is set when the object is reset.

disabled

Indicates whether the object is disabled.

Possible values:                     
    0
    1

height

The object's height (in pixels).

html id

The object's HTML identifier.

html tag

The object's HTML tag.

index

The ordinal identifier that UFT One assigns to the object to indicate the order in which the object appears in the code relative to other objects with an otherwise identical description. This property cannot be used with GetROProperty.

innerhtml

The HTML code contained between the object's start and end tags.

innertext

The text contained between the object's start and end tags.

kind

The type of edit field .

Possible values:                     
    single-line
   multi-line

location

The ordinal identifier that UFT One assigns to the object to indicate where the object appears within the window, frame, or dialog box. Values are assigned from top to bottom, and left to right. This property cannot be used with GetROProperty.

max length

The maximum length of the edit text.

name

The object's name.

outerhtml

The object's HTML code and its content.

outertext

The object's text.

pattern The regular expression pattern defined for the edit box, which controls which values that the edit box will accept.
placeholderThe hint text that is displayed in the edit box until a value is entered in it.

readonly

Indicates whether the content of the edit box is read-only.

Possible values:

1 read-only

0 read-write

required

Indicates whether the edit box must be populated before the form is submitted.

Possible values:                     
    True
    False

Note: Only True and False are valid values for this property. 1 and 0 are not valid values.

RepositoryName

The name of the object as it is stored in the object repository.

Note: This property is relevant only when working in the Siebel Test Automation environment with the Siebel Add-in loaded.

roleThe function of the specified object.

rows

The number of rows in the object.

Possible values:                     
    0 (for single-line)
    number of rows (for multi-line)

SiebelObjType

The type of object that the HTML element represents.

Note: This property is relevant only when working in the Siebel Test Automation environment with the Siebel Add-in loaded.

title

The object's title.

type

The type of object as defined in the HTML input tag.

For example: <input type=button> or <input type=text>

Note: Older browser versions that do not support HTML5 may treat unsupported types of input tags (such as the HTML5 email type) as text. This means that a control might have different properties, depending on the browser you use. For more details, see the topic about working with multiple browsers in the Web Add-in section of the UFT One Help Center.

For example, in Internet Explorer 9, the HTML5 email input type is treated as a text input type. In Internet Explorer 10, the text input type is treated as an HTML5 email input type. UFT One recognizes the WebEdit test object, even though the input type property in the test and the browsers do not match.

UIName

The name of the object as it appears in the user interface.

Note: This property is relevant only when working in the Siebel Test Automation environment with the Siebel Add-in loaded.

value

The object's value.

visible

Indicates whether the object is visible.

Possible values:                     
    True
    False

Note: Only True and False are valid values for this property. 1 and 0 are not valid values.

visual relations

Represents the test object's visual relations identifier.

Use this property in GetTOProperty and SetTOProperty steps to return or apply a VisualRelationsCollection object for a test object. The VisualRelationsCollection object enables you to retrieve or replace the visual relation identifier settings of a test object during a run session.

Syntax:

SetVRIColl = TestObject.GetTOProperty("visual relations")

TestObject.SetTOProperty "visual relations", VRIColl

For details, see VisualRelationsCollection Object in the Utility section of the Micro Focus UFT One Object Model Reference for GUI Testing.

This property is not listed in the Object Spy. It is not retrieved when you use the GetTOProperties method. It cannot be used in the Object Identification dialog box, the description area of the object repository, checkpoint or output value steps, and so on.

width

The object's width (in pixels).

width in characters

The calculated width of the object (in characters).

xpath

The path to the object in XPath format.

For example: //TR[@id='QTP']/*/INPUT

x

The object's x-coordinate (left) relative to the parent frame or page (in pixels).

y

The object's y-coordinate (top) relative to the parent frame or page (in pixels).
