JavaToolbar Object
Description
A Java toolbar.
Operations
The sections below list the built-in methods and properties that you can use as operations for the JavaToolbar object.

object.Click (X, Y, [MouseButton])
Arguments
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| X |
Required. A Variant. The x-coordinate of the click. |
| Y |
Required. A Variant. The y-coordinate of the click. |
| MouseButton |
Optional. A String value. Indicates whether the click should be performed with the left or right mouse button. Possible values: "LEFT" (default) "RIGHT" Default value = "LEFT" |

'503 and 55 using the left mouse button.
Browser("Periodic").Page("Periodic").JavaApplet("Periodic").JavaToolBar("Periodic").Click 503, 55, "LEFT"
CreateObject Method
Description
Creates an instance of any Java object within your application.
Syntax
object.CreateObject (ClassName, ConsArgs)
Arguments
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| ClassName |
Required. A String value. The Java class name. |

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
Create a New Object (VBScript)'The following example uses the CreateObject method to create a rectangle object. Set Rect = Browser("Periodic").Page("Periodic").JavaApplet("Periodic").JavaList("Panel").CreateObject("java.awt.Rectangle", 10, 20)

IMPORTANT
When recording operations on toolbar buttons, OpenText Functional Testing records the button label value for the Item argument if the label has a value and that value is unique in the toolbar. Otherwise OpenText Functional Testing records the button index.
This method is not supported for JavaFX toolbar controls. Instead, you should use a .Click method on the child objects contained in the toolbar.
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
Use the Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V Shortcuts to Cut and Paste (VBScript)'The following example enters text in an edit box and then uses the PressKey method to cut the word 'edit' 'and paste it in a different location using the Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V shortcut keys. '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. Browser("Java Examples").Page("Java Examples").Frame("MAIN").JavaApplet("TextAreaApplet").JavaEdit("Text field").PressKey "V", micCtrl

Return Type
None
IMPORTANT
This method is not supported for toolbar objects in JavaFX applications. Instead, you should use a method from the combo box child item contained in the toolbar.
Example
Select a Toolbar Sub-Item from a Drop-Down Button (VBScript)'The following example selects the "Project" item from the context menu of an 'Eclipse drop-down toolbar button. JavaWindow("Eclipse").JavaToolBar("ToolBar").ShowDropdown "#1" JavaWindow("Eclipse").WinMenu("ContextMenu").Select "Project..."

Syntax
object.Type (Text)
Arguments
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| 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"
