ClickItem Action (Split Button and Menu Button Controls)

Applies to TestComplete 15.63, last modified on April 23, 2024
This method is not supported in web tests (including cross-platform web tests) that use XPath expressions and CSS selectors to locate web elements. This method can be only used in tests that locate web objects by using internal identification properties provided by TestComplete.

Description

The ClickItem action selects the specified control’s item.

Declaration

TestObj.ClickItem(Item)

TestObj A variable, parameter or expression that specifies a reference to one of the objects listed in the Applies To section
Item [in]    Required    Variant    
Result None

Applies To

The method is applied to the following objects:

AngularUI Bootstrap Split Button, Bootstrap Split Button, Flex PopUpButton and 2 more objects

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 parameter:

Item

Specifies the desired item. You can enter the item’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.

Result Value

None.

Remarks

  • If the item is not found, ClickItem fails and posts an error message to the test log.

  • Flex PopUpButton controls: The ClickItem method is not recorded for Flex PopUpButton controls. When you simulate clicks on these controls, TestComplete records them as ordinary coordinate clicks. However, you can replace these clicks with the ClickItem method manually in your tests.

  • Microsoft Edge:

    • In certain cases, TestComplete can select an item without simulating a click on it.
    • TestComplete can fail to simulate the ClickItem action on jQuery controls.

  • Chrome browser: TestComplete may fail to record the ClickItem method for web controls in Chrome. It will record ordinary coordinate clicks instead. You can replace those clicks with the ClickItem method in your tests manually.
