This method is available in legacy mobile tests that work with devices connected to the local computer. To learn how to simulate user actions in newer cloud-compatible mobile tests, see the Simulating user actions in tests section. |
Description
The MultiSelect method selects multiple items in the table view.
Declaration
TestObj.MultiSelect(Section, Items)
| TestObj | A variable, parameter or expression that specifies a reference to one of the objects listed in the Applies To section | |||
| Section | [in] | Required | Variant | |
| Items | [in] | Required | Variant | |
| Result | None | |||
Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
View Mode
This method is available in the Object Browser panel and in other panels and dialogs in both Basic and Advanced view modes.
Parameters
The method has the following parameters:
Section
Specifies the section of the desired item. You can enter the section’s index (from 0) or its caption. The caption can contain asterisk (*) or question mark (?) wildcards or regular expressions. The asterisk (*) corresponds to a string of any length (including an empty string), the question mark corresponds to any single character (including none). To specify more complicated parts of a caption, use regular expressions.
The caption can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on the value of the Use case-sensitive parameters project setting.
Items
This parameter can be either of the following:
-
An array containing captions or indexes of items to select. You can use “native” JavaScript, JScript, Python, VBScript and DelphiScript arrays as well as arrays created using the
CreateVariantArrayfunction. -
String holding the captions of items to select, separated by the
wListSeparatorcharacters.
Item captions can contain wildcard characters - * and ?. The asterisk (*) corresponds to a string of any length, the question mark (?) - to any single character. Captions can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on the value of the Use case-sensitive parameters project setting.
Result Value
None.
Remarks
If the control does not support multiselection, no action is performed and an error is posted to the test log.
If there are items already selected in the specified section of the control, the method first clears the selection in these sections, and then selects the specified items. The item selection in other sections does not change.
Example
This example script selects first six items in the first section of an application’s table view.
JavaScript, JScript
function Test()
{
// Select the mobile device
Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone");
// Obtain the TableView object
var p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp");
var tableview = p.Window().TableView();
// Create an array of items you want to select
var items = new Array(tableview.wItemCount(0))
for (i=0; i<tableview.wItemCount(0);i++)
items[i] = i
// Select the items
tableview.Multiselect(0, items);
}
Python
def Test():
# Select the mobile device
Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone")
# Obtain the TableView object
p = Mobile.Device().Process("SampleApp")
tableview = p.Window().TableView()
# Create an array of items you want to select
items = []
for i in range (0, tableview.wItemCount[0]):
items.append(i)
# Select the items
tableview.Multiselect(0, items)VBScript
Sub Test()
Dim p, tableview
' Select the mobile device
Mobile.SetCurrent("iPhone")
' Obtain the tableview object
Set p = Mobile.Device.Process("SampleApp")
Set tableview = p.Window.TableView
' Create an array of items you want to select
Dim items(5)
For i = 0 to 5
items(i) = i
Next
' Select the items
Call tableview.MultiSelect(0,items)
End Sub
DelphiScript
procedure Test();
var
p, tableview, i;
items : array[0..5] of variant;
begin
// Select the mobile device
Mobile.SetCurrent('iPhone');
// Obtain the tableview object
p := Mobile.Device.Process('SampleApp');
tableview := p.Window(0).TableView(0);
// Create an array of items you want to select
for i := 0 to 5 do
items[i] := i;
// Select the items
tableview.MultiSelect(0, items);
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function Test()
{
// Select the mobile device
Mobile["SetCurrent"]("iPhone");
// Obtain the TableView object
var p = Mobile["Device"].Process("SampleApp");
var tableview = p["Window"]()["TableView"]();
