End If
CreateObject Method
Description
Creates an instance of any Java object within your application.

Arguments
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| ClassName |
Required. A String value. The Java class name. |
| ConsArgs |

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.
Example

IMPORTANT
When typing keys during a recording session, OpenText Functional Testing 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.
Example

'Place the cursor at the beginning of the text box. Browser("Java Examples").Page ("Java Examples") .Frame("MAIN").JavaApplet("TextAreaApplet").JavaEdit("Text field").SetCaretPos 0, 0 'Enter a sentence in the text box. Browser("Java Examples").Page("Java Examples").Frame("MAIN").JavaApplet("TextAreaApplet").JavaEdit("Text field ").Set "Set the edit text." 'Select (highlight) the word 'edit'. Browser("Java Examples").Page("Java Examples").Frame("MAIN").JavaApplet("TextAreaApplet").JavaEdit("Text field").SetSelection 0, 8, 0, 12 'Cut the word 'edit' Browser("Java Examples").Page("Java Examples").Frame("MAIN").JavaApplet("TextAreaApplet").JavaEdit("Text field").PressKey "X", micCtrl 'Place the cursor at the end of the text. Browser("Java Examples").Page("Java Examples").Frame("MAIN").JavaApplet("TextAreaApplet").JavaEdit("Text field").SetCaretPos 0, 12 'Insert a space at the end of the text. Browser("Java Examples").Page("Java Examples").Frame("MAIN").JavaApplet("TextAreaApplet").JavaEdit("Text field").Insert " ", 0, 12 'Paste the word 'edit' at the end of the text.

Required. A String value. 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 OpenText Functional Testing 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.
Example
Type Text in an Edit Box (VBScript)'The following example uses the Type method to type ABC in a Java edit box. Browser("Periodic").Page("Periodic").JavaApplet("Periodic").JavaEdit("Text").Type "ABC"
