SAPUIFacetFilter Object
Description
An SAPUI5 facet filter control.
IMPORTANT
- The SAPUIFacetFilter test object class extends the WebElement test object class and inherits many of its operations and description properties.
- This control enables you to filter the display of an associated list, or set of lists, according to the values selected in the filter.
Operations
The sections below list the built-in methods and properties that you can use as operations for the SAPUIFacetFilter object.
Note: You can also view a list and descriptions of the SAPUIFacetFilter description properties, for use in object repository descriptions, programmatic descriptions, checkpoint and output value steps, and as argument values for the GetTOProperty and GetROProperty methods.

Click Method
Description
Clicks the object.
Syntax
object.Click [x], [y], [BUTTON]
Arguments
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
x |
Optional. An integer value. The x-coordinate of the click. The specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object. The default value is the center of the object. Default value = 0 |
y |
Optional. An integer value. The y-coordinate of the click. The specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object. The default value is the center of the object. Tip: You can enter MicNoCoordinate for the x and y argument values if you want to enter a value for the button argument without specifying x- and y-coordinates for the click Default value = 0 |

IMPORTANT
- UFT One does not record the Click method for right- or middle-clicks. Instead, UFT One records the RightClick and MiddleClick methods.
- Recording options for this method are defined in the Advanced tab of the Web Options dialog box. For details, see the section on the Web > Advanced pane in the UFT One Help Center.
- For some Mozilla Firefox objects, this method is recorded only if a handler is present. For details, see the topic on working with multiple browsers in the UFT One Help Center.
Example
'The following example clicks a button in the application. Browser("SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit").Page("SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit").Frame("content").SAPUIButton("Button20-01").Click
DoubleClick Method
Description

Syntax
object.DoubleClick [interval], [x], [y]
Arguments
Parameter | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
interval |
Optional. A Variant.
| ||
x |
Optional. An integer value. The x-coordinate of the click. The specified coordinates are relative to the upper left corner of the object. The default value is the center of the object. Default value = 0 | ||
y |

Return Type
None
IMPORTANT
This method is supported as long as the application supports touch events and is run on a mobile device on Digital Lab or a touch-enabled browser. Using this method on desktop browsers may generate warnings, even if you are using a mobile emulator.
Drag Method
Description
Performs the 'drag' part of a drag and drop operation.
Syntax
object.Drag [x], [y], [BUTTON], [Modifier]
Arguments
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
x |
Optional. An integer value. The x-coordinate within the source object. Default value = 0 |
y |
Optional. An integer value. The y-coordinate within teh source object. Default value = 0 |
BUTTON |
Optional. A predefined constant or number. A mouse button used to drag the object. (Releasing the button performs the Drop operation.) Default value = micLeftBtn |
Modifier |
Optional. A String value. The keyboard modifier that is pressed during the Drag operation. |
Return Type
None
IMPORTANT
Drag and Drop operations are performed as a coupled step. Inserting one operation without the other causes an error to occur in the run session.
UFT One supports the following scenarios:
- Scenario A: One object is dragged onto another object. For example, you can drag a WebButton from one frame object (source object) to another object (target object), or drag a WebElement (source object) onto a Link object (target object) in the same frame.
- Scenario B: An object is moved from one location in a frame to another location in the same frame. In this case, the test object used for the Drag setp is the same as the test object used for the Drop step.
- Scenario C: An item within an object is moved to another location within that object (also known as drag and pan). For example, in a map application, you can relocate an image relative to itself or drag a Slider object.
General Note:
UFT One always runs Drag and Drop steps using the mouse API, even if you defined the Replay type as Event in the Run settings section of the Web > Advanced pane (Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Web pane > Advanced node).
Notes for Scenario A:
- When recording: You cannot record crossobject or cross-frame types of drag and drop operations (operations in which you try to drop an object on another object or in another frame). You can, however, insert these types of Drop steps manually. Note that it may be helfup to record a drag and drop operation on the object in order to determine valid coordinates for the Drag operation step. You will need to delete the recorded Drop step, though, and manually add a new Drop step for the target object instead.
- When running: If the application being tested supports scrolling, then UFT One supports scrolling when the Drag and Drop test objects are both located in the same frame. UFT One drags the Drag object to the edge of the frame, waits for the Drop object to appear, and drops the Drag object onto the Drop object. If the application being tested does not support scrolling, then UFT One displays an error message when it reaches a step that requires scrolling.
- Run session. If you want to drag a test object from one frame to another, UFT One tries to make both the Drag and Drop objects visible in their frames prior to performing the Drag and Drop operation. If the two objects cannot be viewed simultaneously (for example, because the browser window is too small), the step will fail.
Notes for Scenario B and Scenario C:
- If the screen resolution during a run session is not the same as the screen resolution during the recording session, then the size of the frame may be different during the run session as compared to the recording session. In this case, the target location coordinates may be different during the run session, and this may cause the test steps to fail.
- During a run session, if the coordinates of a Drop step are located outside the visible frame area (for example, because your application changed), then the step may not run accurately. To solve this, fix the specified coordinates, as needed. The test object can be dragged only within the visible area of the frame object. Dragging the object to the edge of a window or frame does not cause the area to scroll (as it does in Scenario A).
Example
'The following example drags a button object. Browser("SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit").Page("SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit").Frame("content").SAPUIButton("Button20-01").Drag
Drop Method
Description
Performs the 'drop' part of a drag and drop operation.
Syntax
object.Drop [x], [y]
Arguments
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
x |
Optional. An integer value. The x-coordinate of the target object on which the dragged object is dropped. If the dragged and dropped object is the same object, then the x-coordinate is relative to the upper left corner in the source location prior to being dragged. Default value = 0 |
y |
Optional. An integer value. The y-coordinate of the target object on which the dragged object is dropped. If the dragged and dropped object is the same object, then the y-coordinate is relative to the upper left corner in the source location prior to being dragged. Default value = 0 |
Return Type
None
IMPORTANT
Drag and Drop operations are performed as a coupled step. Inserting one operation without the other causes and error to occur. For more information on Drag and Drop operations, see Drag Method.Example
'The following example drops a dragged button object. Browser("SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit").Page("SAPUI5 SDK - Demo Kit").Frame("content").SAPUIButton("Button20-01").Drop 90,100

- This methods adds filter values in addition to any that are already selected. To clear any selected filter values and set a new filter, use the FilterBy method.
- During a recording session, filter selections are recorded as a series of steps. First a FilterBy step, and then ExtendFilterBy steps. You can manually replace these steps with one FilterBy step that selects all relevant values, to make your test more concise.
Example
