Changing the Switch State

Changing the Current State

To change the current state of a switch control, simulate a single touch action over the control. This will explicitly change the initial state of the control to the opposite state: if the switch was "on" it will become "off" and vice versa.

To simulate a touch on a switch control, use the Touch action of the iOS Switch object that TestComplete associates with that control. The following example demonstrates how to simulate a touch on a switch:

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone");
  // Obtain the switch object
  var p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp");
  var Switch = p.Window(0).Switch(0);
  
  // Touch the switch
  Switch.Touch();
}

Python

def Test():
  # Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone")
  # Obtain the switch object
  p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp")
  Switch = p.Window(0).Switch(0)
  
  # Touch the switch
  Switch.Touch()

VBScript

Sub Test()
  Dim p, Switch
  ' Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone")
  ' Obtain the switch object
  Set p = Mobile.Device.Process("SampleApp")
  Set Switch = p.Window(0).Switch(0)
  
  ' Touch the switch
  Switch.Touch()
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test();
var
  p, Switch;
begin
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent('iPhone');
  // Obtain the switch object
  p := Mobile.Device.Process('SampleApp');
  Switch := p.Window(0).Switch(0);
  
  // Touch the switch
  Switch.Touch();
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test()
{
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile["SetCurrent"]("iPhone");
  // Obtain the switch object
  var p = Mobile["Device"].Process("SampleApp");
  var Switch = p["Window"](0)["Switch"](0);
  
  // Touch the switch
  Switch["Touch"]();
}

Setting the Desired State

To set a switch control to the desired state, use the Switch action. This action compares the current state of the control and the desired state specified via the input parameter: if the state mismatches, the action performs a single touch over the control; otherwise, it performs no action. The following example sets a switch to the checked state and posts information about the state to the log:

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone");
  // Obtain the switch object
  var p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp");
  var Switch = p.Window(0).Switch(0);
  
  // Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch.Switch(true);
}

Python

def Test():
  # Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone")
  # Obtain the switch object
  p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp")
  Switch = p.Window(0).Switch(0)
  
  # Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch.Switch(True)

VBScript

Sub Test()
  Dim p, Switch
  ' Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone")
  ' Obtain the switch object
  Set p = Mobile.Device.Process("SampleApp")
  Set Switch = p.Window(0).Switch(0)
  
  ' Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch.Switch(True)
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test();
var
  p, Switch;
begin
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent('iPhone');
  // Obtain the switch object
  p := Mobile.Device.Process('SampleApp');
  Switch := p.Window(0).Switch(0);
  
  // Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch.Switch(true);
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test()
{
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile["SetCurrent"]("iPhone");
  // Obtain the switch object
  var p = Mobile["Device"].Process("SampleApp");
  var Switch = p["Window"](0)["Switch"](0);
  
  // Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch["Switch"](true);
}

Assigning a Value to the wState Property

To assign a switch value directly, use the wState property. Assigning the wState value is reflected in the test log. Below is an example of how to modify the state of a switch:

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone");
  // Obtain the switch object
  var p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp");
  var Switch = p.Window(0).Switch(0);
  
  // Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch.wState = true;
}

Python

def Test():
  # Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone")
  # Obtain the switch object
  p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp")
  Switch = p.Window(0).Switch(0)
  
  # Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch.wState = True

VBScript

Sub Test()
  Dim p, Switch
  ' Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone")
  ' Obtain the switch object
  Set p = Mobile.Device.Process("SampleApp")
  Set Switch = p.Window(0).Switch(0)
  
  ' Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch.wState = True
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test();
var
  p, Switch;
begin
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent('iPhone');
  // Obtain the switch object
  p := Mobile.Device.Process('SampleApp');
  Switch := p.Window(0).Switch(0);
  
  // Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch.wState := true;
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test()
{
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile["SetCurrent"]("iPhone");
  // Obtain the switch object
  var p = Mobile["Device"].Process("SampleApp");
  var Switch = p["Window"](0)["Switch"](0);
  
  // Set the switch to the "on" state
  Switch["wState"] = true;
}

Changing the Switch State in Keyword Tests

You can change the state of a switch in keyword tests by using the On-Screen Action or Call Object Method operation. To do this, call the Touch or Switch action, or change the value of the wState property.
