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 Classes object is intended for managing custom classes in scripts. It holds a collection of existing classes and specific methods to work with it. It also holds a method that creates new class instances.
You can obtain the Classes object in scripts by using the Classes property of the ODT object.
To access a class in the collection, use the Items property of the Classes object. This property is a default one, that is, you can skip its name in your scripts. For instance, the following two lines are equivalent:
JavaScript, JScript
cls = ODT.Classes("MyClass"); // The Items property name is omitted
VBScript
Set cls = ODT.Classes("MyClass") ' The Items property name is omitted
DelphiScript
cls := ODT.Classes('MyClass'); // The Items property name is omitted
C++Script, C#Script
cls = ODT["Classes"]("MyClass"); // The Items property name is omitted

PropertiesExample
The code below obtains the names of all the classes existing in the current project and then posts these names to the test log.
JavaScript, JScript
function ClassesItemsExample()
{
// Obtains the total number of classes
var ClassesNum = ODT.Classes.Count;
// Iterates through the classes
for (var i = 0; i < ClassesNum; i++)
{
var Name = ODT.Classes.Items(i).Name;
// Posts the name of the current class to the test log
Log.Message(Name);
}
}
VBScript
Sub ClassesItemsExample()
' Obtains the total number of classes
ClassesNum = ODT.Classes.Count
' Iterates through the classes
For i = 0 to (ClassesNum - 1)
Name = ODT.Classes.Items(i).Name
' Posts the name of the current class to the test log
Log.Message(Name)
Next
End Sub
DelphiScript
function ClassesItemsExample;
var ClassesNum, i, Name;
begin
// Obtains the total number of classes
ClassesNum := ODT.Classes.Count;
// Iterates through the classes
for i := 0 to (ClassesNum - 1) do
begin
Name := ODT.Classes.Items[i].Name;
// Posts the name of the current class to the test log
Log.Message(Name);
end;
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function ClassesItemsExample()
{
// Obtains the total number of classes
var ClassesNum = ODT["Classes"]["Count"];
// Iterates through the classes
for (var i = 0; i < ClassesNum; i++)
{
var Name = ODT["Classes"]["Items"](i)["Name"];
// Posts the name of the current class to the test log
Log["Message"](Name);
}
