Toolbars and navigation bars may contain items of different types. TestComplete works with different item types in the same way. However, you may need to know the type of the item you are using in order to perform certain actions. This topic explains how you can do this in scripts.

Checking the Item Type in Scripts

The iOS ToolBar and iOS NavigationBar objects provide scripting access to different kinds of controls and contain special properties that let you determine the control type:

wIsDropDownItem– returns True if the item is a drop down list.
wIsItemSwitchable– returns True if the item is a switch.
wIsSeparatorItem– returns True if the item is a separator.

These properties have the Item parameter that specifies the desired item (see Addressing Tool Bar and Navigation Bar Items).

The following example iterates through toolbar items, determines the type of each item and posts it to the test log.

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone");
  // Obtain the Toolbar object
  var p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp");
  var toolbar = p.Window().Toolbar();

  // Iterate through the items
  for (var i=0; i<toolbar.wItemCount; i++)
  {
    // Post the item type to the log
    if (toolbar.wIsDropDownItem(i))
      Log.Message("Item "+i+" is a drop-down list.")
    if (toolbar.wIsItemSwitchable(i))
      Log.Message("Item "+i+" is a switch.")
    if (toolbar.wIsSeparatorItem(i))
      Log.Message("Item "+i+" is a separator.")
  }
}

Python

def Test():
  # Select the mobile device
  Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone")
  # Obtain the Toolbar object 
  p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp")
  toolbar = p.Window().Toolbar()
  
  # Iterate through the items
  for i in range(0, toolbar.wItemCount):
    # Post the item type to the log
    if (toolbar.wIsDropDownItem[i]):
      Log.Message("Item "+str(i)+" is a drop-down list.") 
    if (toolbar.wIsItemSwitchable[i]):
      Log.Message("Item "+str(i)+" is a switch.") 
    if (toolbar.wIsSeparatorItem[i]):
      Log.Message("Item "+str(i)+" is a separator.")

VBScript

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

  ' Iterate through the items
  For i = 0 To toolbar.wItemCount-1
    ' Post the item type to the log
    If (toolbar.wIsDropDownItem(i)) Then
      Log.Message("Item " & i & " is a drop-down list.")
    End If
    If (toolbar.wIsItemSwitchable(i)) Then
      Log.Message("Item "+i+" is a switch.")
    End If
    If (toolbar.wIsSeparatorItem(i)) Then
      Log.Message("Item "+i+" is a separator.")
    End If
   Next
End Sub

DelphiScript

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

  // Iterate through the items
  for i := 0 to toolbar.wItemCount-1 do
  begin
    // Post the item type to the log
    if toolbar.wIsDropDownItem(i) then
      Log.Message('Item '+VarToStr(i)+' is a drop-down list.');
    if toolbar.wIsItemSwitchable(i) then
      Log.Message('Item '+VarToStr(i)+' is a switch.');
    if toolbar.wIsSeparatorItem(i)then
      Log.Message('Item '+VarToStr(i)+' is a separator.');
  end;
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test()
{
  // Select the mobile device
  Mobile["SetCurrent"]("iPhone");
  // Obtain the Toolbar object
  var p = Mobile["Device"].Process("SampleApp");
  var toolbar = p["Window"]()["Toolbar"]();

  // Iterate through the items
  for (var i=0; i<toolbar["wItemCount"]; i++)
  {
    // Post the item type to the log
    if (toolbar["wIsDropDownItem"](i))
      Log["Message"]("Item "+i+" is a drop-down list.")
    if (toolbar["wIsItemSwitchable"](i))
      Log["Message"]("Item "+i+" is a switch.")
    if (toolbar["wIsSeparatorItem"](i))
      Log["Message"]("Item "+i+" is a separator.")
  }
}

Simulating Actions in Keyword Tests

To check the type of the tool and navigation bar items from keyword tests, use the On-Screen Action or Call Object Method operation to access the properties described above. See Getting and Setting Object Property Values.
