Functional Tester supports a RootTestObject to represent a global view of the software under test. To perform a global search, you invoke the find method on the RootTestObject. Invoking a TestObject find method will only search the children of that TestObject.
The first argument in the find method is a subitem for the search properties. The second optional argument is a flag indicating whether only children that might be included in the test object map should be searched. Valid values for the property subitems are:
There are special properties that apply to RootTestObject.find, including:
Examples:
TestObject[] foundTOs ;
RootTestObject root = RootTestObject.getRootTestObject() ;
// Find all toplevel windows in the Windows domain with caption "My
// Document"
CaptionText caption = new CaptionText("My Document") ;
foundTOs = root.find(atChild(".domain", "Win", ".caption",
caption)) ;
// Find any dialogs, then return their children
// "OK" buttons.
RegularExpression dialogRE = new
RegularExpression("*dialog", false) ;
RegularExpression buttonRE = new
RegularExpression("*button", false) ;
foundTOs = root.find(atList(atDescendant(".class",
dialogRE),
atChild(".class", buttonRE,".value",
"OK"))) ;
// Start Notepad, dynamically enable that process,
// find its top-level window that matches the process id
// and get its descendant text window.
ProcessTestObject p1 = StartApp("Notepad") ;
Integer pid = new Integer((int)p1.getProcessId()) ;
foundTOs = root.find(atList(atProperty(".processId",
pid), atDescendant(".class", ".text"))) ;
// This enables a Windows app with the provided window handle and returns a
// TestObject representing the window.
Long hWnd = getAppsHwnd();
foundTOs = root.find(atChild(".hwnd", hWnd, ".domain", "Win"));
// This enables a .NET app with the provided window handle and returns a
// TestObject representing the window.
Long handle = getAppsHwnd();
foundTOs = root.find(atChild("Handle", handle, ".domain", "Net"));
