Description

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 path to the desired item. The path should be relative to the current item or to the tree root, respectively. To indicate that the path starts from the tree root, place the pipeline character ( | ) at the beginning of the path.
Each item in the path can be specified by its caption or index; individual captions and indexes must be separated with pipeline characters ( | ). Indexes must be enclosed in brackets - [ and ].
To indicate variable parts of the item caption, you can use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wildcards. The asterisk corresponds to a string of any length, the question mark corresponds to any single character. The caption can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on the value of the Use case-sensitive parameters project setting.
| Note: | If the item caption includes a bracket or a pipeline character, address the item by its index or with the question mark wildcard. |
Result Value
None.
Remarks
If the specified item is not found, ExpandItem fails and posts an error message to the test log.
The script recorder recognizes clicks on the “+” buttons within the tree view control and records the ExpandItem command.
