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 Object.Methods property returns the Method object that represents the object's method. The total number of methods is specified by the MethodCount property.
Declaration
ObjectObj.Methods(Index)
| Read-Only Property | A Method object |
| ObjectObj | An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to an Object object | |||
| Index | [in] | Required | Variant | |
Applies To
The property is applied to the following object:
Parameters
The property has the following parameter:
Index
Specifies either the method name, or index. The first method has index 0, the second - 1, etc.
Property Value
A Method object.
Remarks
If the class or object does not contain a method with the specified name or index, an error occurs.
Example
The following code snippet declares a new class, adds several methods to it and creates an object based on the declared class. After that, it adds a new method to the object, iterates through the object’s methods and posts information on them to the test log.
JavaScript, JScript
{
var NewClass, MyObject, Method;
// Declares a new class
NewClass = ODT.Classes.Declare("NewClass");
// Adds methods to the declared class
NewClass.AddMethod("ClassMethod1", "Object_VB.Test1");
NewClass.AddMethod("ClassMethod2", "Object_VB.Test2");
// Creates an object based on the declared class
MyObject = ODT.Classes.New("NewClass");
// Adds a method to the object
MyObject.AddMethod("ObjectMethod", "Object_VB.Test3");
// Iterates through the object’s methods
for (var i = 0; i < MyObject.MethodCount; i++)
{
// Obtains the object’s method
Method = MyObject.Methods(i);
// Posts information on the method to the test log
Log.AppendFolder(Method.Name);
Log.Message("Init method: " + Method.IsInit);
Log.Message("Enabled: " + Method.Enabled);
Log.Message("Script routine: " + Method.ScriptProc);
Log.PopLogFolder();
}
}

Log.Message('Script routine: ' + Method.ScriptProc);
Log.PopLogFolder();
end;
end;
C++Script, C#Script
{
var NewClass, MyObject, Method;
// Declares a new class
NewClass = ODT["Classes"]["Declare"]("NewClass");
// Adds methods to the declared class
NewClass["AddMethod"]("ClassMethod1", "Object_VB.Test1");
NewClass["AddMethod"]("ClassMethod2", "Object_VB.Test2");
// Creates an object based on the declared class
MyObject = ODT["Classes"]["New"]("NewClass");
// Adds a method to the object
MyObject["AddMethod"]("ObjectMethod", "Object_VB.Test3");
// Iterates through the object’s methods
for (var i = 0; i < MyObject["MethodCount"]; i++)

Log["Message"]("Enabled: " + Method["Enabled"]);
