IsXMLContent Method

Applies to TestComplete 14.40, last modified on April 22, 2021
The manual testing functionality is deprecated. Do not use it for creating new tests. It will be removed in a future TestComplete release.

Description

The IsXMLContent method allows you to know whether the step's content is described as an XML file and XSL file, or as an HTML file.

Declaration

ManualTestingStepInfoObj.IsXMLContent()

ManualTestingStepInfoObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a ManualTestingStepInfo object
Result Boolean

Applies To

The method is applied to the following object:

ManualTestingStepInfo

Result Value

True if the step content is stored in the XML+XSL format, False otherwise.

Example

The following code snippet determines in what format step instructions are stored. If the instructions are stored in an HTML file, it posts the name of the file to the test log. If the instructions are stored in an XML file, it posts the name of the XML file and the name of the XSL file applied to the XML file to the test log.
