MobileObject description properties

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

Note: Most 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. However, some object description properties can be used only in checkpoint and output value steps, and with GetROProperty, WaitProperty, and CheckProperty steps, whereas others can be used only when identifying an object, as indicated below.

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 OpenText Functional Testing 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.

* Required by Digital Lab to identify the objects in the application.

** When defining the location of an object:

  • For native apps, use top, left, right, and bottom to define the location of the object on the device.

  • For native and hybrid apps, use abs_x, abs_y, width, and height to define the location of the object on the desktop screen, such as on the Digital Lab remote access window.
