Custom Control Support Class Summary Screen

This topic describes the Custom Control Support Class Summary screen in the New Custom Support Class Wizard, where you review generated support-class details and complete post-wizard steps.

Overview

Use this screen to verify all wizard decisions before the support class is generated. This summary is your final checkpoint for mapping, property, method, and recording-support definitions.

Screen details

Before the wizard creates the custom support class file, the Custom Support Class Summary screen summarizes the specifications you provided for the new support class:

Options on this screen

If you want to change any of the data, click Cancel to return to the previous wizard screen. Use the Back and Next buttons to open the relevant screens and make the required changes.

If you are satisfied with the definitions, click OK. The wizard creates the new support class with all of the required methods, according to your specifications.

In addition, the wizard adds the test object class definition to the test object configuration file if one of the following conditions is met:

You mapped a new test object class to the custom control.
You added identification properties or test object methods to an existing test object class.

Note: If the test object configuration file does not exist, the wizard creates it at this time. For information on the structure of the test object configuration file, see the Test Object Schema Help.

Completing the Custom Class Support

After you finish creating a custom support class (using the New Custom Support Class Wizard), you need to perform the following additional steps:

Save the class.
In Eclipse, the new class file is opened and displayed in a tab in the right pane. Until you save the class, an asterisk (*) is displayed in the tab next to the support class file name. The changes made by the wizard are codependent and need to be saved to prevent discrepancies.
Implement any method stubs that the wizard created in the new custom support class. For more information, see Understanding the Toolkit Support Class.
If you added new test object methods or identification properties to the test object class, the wizard adds them to the test object class definition in the test object configuration file.
If you remove (or do not implement) the support methods that the wizard created in the support class, the test object methods or identification properties remain part of the test object class definition. They are available when editing tests but are not supported for this custom class.
Deploy the toolkit support to OpenText Functional Testing to enable the support to be available. For more information, see Deploying and Running the Custom Toolkit Support.
