CreateObject Method

Description

Creates an instance of any Java object within your application.

Syntax

object.CreateObject (ClassName, ConsArgs)

Arguments

ParameterDescription
ClassName Required. A String value.
The Java class name.
ConsArgs Required. None
Any arguments required for the object's constructor. Enter the values in a comma separated list. If no arguments are required for the constructor, you do not need to supply a value for the ConsArgs argument.

Return Type

A Variant.

Returns an object reference. You can use this reference to access the object's methods and properties, without using the Object property.

IMPORTANT

  • The class loader of the Java test object on which the CreateObject method is performed is used to load the class of the newly created Java object.
  • We recommend using the CreateObject method on a test object from the same toolkit as the object you want to create. For example, to create a Swing/JFC object, use the CreateObject method on an existing Swing/JFC Java test object.
  • For more information on the CreateObject method, and additional documentation on standard JDK classes, see the Java documentation.

FireEvent Method

Description

Simulates an event on a test object using one of several pre-defined event constants.

Syntax

object.FireEvent (EventType, EventArguments)

The name of the pre-defined constant for the event you want to fire.

Possible values: micMouseEnter, micMouseExit, micMouseClick, micMousePress, micMouseRelease, micMouseDrag, micMouseMove, micKeyPress, micKeyRelease, micKeyType, micFocusGain, micFocusLost.

Note: The FireEvent method is supported only for java.awt.* components .

The events for org.eclipse.swt.widgets.* controls are not supported.

EventArguments Required. None

Any parameters of the event's constructor except for the source and EventID. You can pass any Java constant that is used as one of the event’s constructor parameters using its string instead of its value. Enter the values in a comma separated list. If no additional parameters are required, you do not need to supply a value for the EventArguments argument.

Return Type

None.

IMPORTANT

  • If the list of pre-defined constants does not cover the event you want to fire, you can use the FireEventEx method to fire any event that has a constructor.
  • This method is not supported for SWT-based controls.

For more information on the FireEvent method, and additional documentation on events, see the Java documentation.

If no additional parameters are required, you do not need to supply a value for the EventArguments argument.

Return Type

None.

IMPORTANT

  • You can use FireEventEx for any Java event.
  • This method is not supported for SWT-based controls.

For more information on the FireEventEx method, and additional documentation on events, see the Java documentation.

IMPORTANT

When typing keys during a recording session, UFT One records the PressKey method when one or more hot keys (such as F-keys, Alt, and Ctrl) are used. 

It also records the PressKey method for any typed key in a Java object that supports text editing, but does not support the Set method.

Type Method

Description

Types the specified text in the object.

Syntax

object.Type (Text)

Arguments

ParameterDescription
Text

Required. A String value.
The text to type and/or the modifier(s) to press.
Supported modifiers:
micAlt
micShift

micCtrlShift
micCtrlShiftAlt
micShiftAlt

For additional supported keyboard presses, see PressKey method.

Return Type

None.

IMPORTANT

This method is not recorded. (Keyboard operations are recorded using the Set or PressKey methods.) The Type method is useful for entering a combination of text and keyboard modifiers. You concatenate text strings and keyboard modifiers using the ampersand (&) symbol. For example, you can enter: Type "Hello World" & micCtrl & "S"

To add this method to your test, use the Step Generator or enter it manually in the Keyword View or Editor. For more information, see the UFT One User Guide.

Note: Although the Type method is supported for most objects, if you enter a Type statement for an object in which a user cannot enter text, the method has no visual effect.
