Search Patterns
To search for objects in Qt applications, you use search patterns of the QtPattern type.
.NET: The pattern belongs to the SmartBear.TestLeft.TestObjects.Qt namespace.
Java: The pattern belongs to the com.smartbear.testleft.testobjects package.
This pattern uses the following properties:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Enabled |
Boolean | Specifies whether the object is enabled or disabled. Disabled objects are usually shown grayed out. |
Index |
Integer |
Used for windowed objects. The object’s position in the front-to-back order (Z-order) within the parent object. Indexes start from 1 and are unique among sibling objects with the same window class (the WndClass property value). You can see this value in the TestLeft UI Spy. |
objectName |
String | The object name specified by the developers in the application code. |
QtClassName |
String | The object’s class name, for example, QTableWidget. |
QtIndex |
Integer | Used for windowless objects. The object’s 1-based index among sibling objects of the same class. |
QtText |
String | The object caption. This is the value of the object’s text or windowTitle property. |
Visible |
Boolean | Specifies whether the object is visible in the application. Objects that are out of screen bounds or overlapped by other objects are still considered visible. |
Example
C#
IQtTableWidget tableWidget = Driver.Find<IProcess>(new ProcessPattern()
{
ProcessName = "QTableWidgetDemo"
}).Find<ITopLevelWindow>(new QtPattern()
{
QtClassName = "MainWindow",
QtText = "QTableWidget Demo"
}).Find<IQtTableWidget>(new QtPattern()
{
objectName = "table1"
});
Visual Basic .NET
Dim tableWidget As IQtTableWidget = Driver.Find(Of IProcess)(New ProcessPattern() With {
.ProcessName = "QTableWidgetDemo"
}).Find(Of ITopLevelWindow)(New QtPattern() With {
.QtClassName = "MainWindow",
.QtText = "QTableWidget Demo"
}).Find(Of IQtTableWidget)(New QtPattern() With {
.objectName = "table1"
})
Java
QtTableWidget tableWidget = driver.find(TestProcess.class, new ProcessPattern() {{
ProcessName = "QTableWidgetDemo";
}}).find(TopLevelWindow.class, new QtPattern() {{
QtClassName = "MainWindow";
QtText = "QTableWidget Demo";
}}).find(QtTableWidget.class, new QtPattern() {{
ObjectName = "table1";
}});
Custom Properties
You can also specify custom properties by using the .add("propertyname", value) method of the pattern object. See Using Custom Properties in Search Patterns.
