Description
The method is applied to window objects that correspond to standard Open File dialogs. It simulates the selection of the specified file in the dialog and then closes the dialog.
Declaration
TestObj.OpenFile(FileName, FileType)
| TestObj | A variable, parameter or expression that specifies a reference to one of the objects listed in the Applies To section | |||
| FileName | [in] | Required | String | |
| FileType | [in] | Optional | Variant | Default value: -1 |
| Result | None | |||
Applies To
A window object that corresponds to a standard Open File dialog box:
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:
FileName
The fully-qualified name of the file to be selected.
FileType
A string or an integer value that specifies the type of the file to be opened. This parameter corresponds to the value that is shown in the Files of type box of the standard Open File dialog.
If FileType is specified, the method sets the appropriate value in this box before opening the file. If FileType is omitted or is equal to -1, the method does not change the value of this box.
If FileType is a string, the method treats it as an item’s text that is shown in the drop-down list of the “Files of type” box. If FileType is an integer, the method treats it as the index of the desired item (indexes are zero-based). If the specified item was not found, the method posts an error message to the test log and does not open a file.
Result Value
None.
Remarks
The OpenFile method is not recorded on Windows 7 and Windows Vista; instead, TestComplete records interactions with the Open File dialog elements. However, you can modify the recorded test and manually replace them with the OpenFile method call.
