The object-driven testing (ODT) functionality is deprecated. Do not use it to create new tests. It will be removed from the product in one of the future releases. As an alternative, you can create custom classes in your scripts. For more information, see Alternatives to the ODT functionality.
Description
The Group.AddVarOfClassType method adds a new object variable to the group and returns it as an Object object.
Declaration
GroupObj.AddVarOfClassType(VariableName, ClassName)
| GroupObj | An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a Group object | |||
| VariableName | [in] | Required | String | |
| ClassName | [in] | Required | String | |
| Result | An Object object |
|||
Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
Parameters
The method has the following parameters:
VariableName
Specifies the variable name. The variable name must be unique within the group. If the group contains another variable with the specified name, an error occurs.
ClassName
Specifies the name of the class on which the object, whose reference is held in the new variable, will be based.
Result Value
The new variable represented as an Object object.
Example
The code below declares a new MyClass class, adds some properties to it and then creates a new data group and adds a variable of the MyClass type to the created data group.
JavaScript, JScript
function AddVarOfClassType()
{
// Declares a class and adds some properties to it
var MyClass = ODT.Classes.Declare("MyClass");
MyClass.AddProperty("Property_1", "Property_Value");
var ArrayProp = MyClass.AddPropOfArrayType("Array_Property");
ArrayProp.AddItem(123);
ArrayProp.AddItem("My_Text");
// ...
// Creates a data group
var Group = ODT.Data.AddGroup("MyGroup");
// Adds a variable of the MyClass type to the MyGroup group
Group.AddVarOfClassType("MyVariable", "MyClass");
}
VBScript
Sub AddVarOfClassType
' Declares a class and adds some properties to it
Set MyClass = ODT.Classes.Declare("MyClass")
Call MyClass.AddProperty("Property_1", "Property_Value")
Set ArrayProp = MyClass.AddPropOfArrayType("Array_Property")
ArrayProp.AddItem(123)
ArrayProp.AddItem("My_Text")
' ...
' Creates a data group
Set Group = ODT.Data.AddGroup("MyGroup")
' Adds a variable of the MyClass type to the MyGroup group
Call Group.AddVarOfClassType("MyVariable", "MyClass")
End Sub
DelphiScript
function AddVarOfClassType;
var MyClass, ArrayProp, Group;
begin
// Declares a class and adds some properties to it
MyClass := ODT.Classes.Declare('MyClass');
MyClass.AddProperty('Property_1', 'Property_Value');
ArrayProp := MyClass.AddPropOfArrayType('Array_Property');
ArrayProp.AddItem(123);
ArrayProp.AddItem('My_Text');
// ...
// Creates a data group
Group := ODT.Data.AddGroup('MyGroup');
// Adds a variable of the MyClass type to the MyGroup group
Group.AddVarOfClassType('MyVariable', 'MyClass');
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function AddVarOfClassType()
{
// Declares a class and adds some properties to it
var MyClass = ODT["Classes"]["Declare"]("MyClass");
MyClass["AddProperty"]("Property_1", "Property_Value");
var ArrayProp = MyClass["AddPropOfArrayType"]("Array_Property");
ArrayProp["AddItem"](123);
ArrayProp["AddItem"]("My_Text");
// ...
// Creates a data group
var Group = ODT["Data"]["AddGroup"]("MyGroup");
// Adds a variable of the MyClass type to the MyGroup group
Group["AddVarOfClassType"]("MyVariable", "MyClass");
