PropertyByName Property

Applies to TestComplete 14.60, last modified on April 22, 2021

Description

Use the PropertyByName property to obtain a StoredObjectProperty object that provides a scripting interface to a property value that is stored in the property collection, to which StoredObject provides access to.

Declaration

StoredObjectObj.PropertyByName(Name)

Read-Only Property A StoredObjectProperty object
StoredObjectObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a StoredObject object
Name [in]    Required    String    

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Parameters

The property has the following parameter:

Name

Specifies the name of the stored property.

Property Value

A StoredObjectProperty object that provides a scripting interface to the desired stored property.

Remarks

If you use Python or DelphiScript, you should enclose the parameter of the StoredObjectObj.PropertyByName property in square brackets: StoredObjectObj.PropertyByName[Name].

If the specified property does not exist, the PropertyByName property returns an empty value (Nothing in VBScript, None in Python, null in JavaScript, JScript, C++Script and C#Script, and nil in DelphiScript).

Example

The following code demonstrates how you can access the desired item of the Objects collection and the properties stored in this item.

JavaScript, JScript

function Test1()
{
  // Obtains the specified property collection
  StoredObject = Objects.Items("MyCollection");
  Log.Message("The total number of property values stored by the collection: " + StoredObject.PropertyCount);

  // Access the specified stored property
  StoredObjectProperty = StoredObject.Properties(0);
    // --or--
  // StoredObjectProperty = StoredObject.PropertyByName("Caption");
  PropertyName = StoredObjectProperty.Name;
  PropertyValue = StoredObjectProperty.Value;
  Log.Message(PropertyName + " = " + PropertyValue);
}

Python

def Test1():
  # Obtains the specified property collection 
  StoredObject = Objects.Items("MyCollection")
  Log.Message("The total number of property values stored by the collection: " + str(StoredObject.PropertyCount))
  # Access the specified stored property  
  StoredObjectProperty = StoredObject.Properties[0]
  # --or-- 
  # StoredObjectProperty = StoredObject.PropertyByName["Caption"]
  PropertyName = StoredObjectProperty.Name 
  PropertyValue = StoredObjectProperty.Value
  Log.Message(PropertyName + " = " + str(PropertyValue))

VBScript

Sub Test1
  ' Obtains the specified property collection
  Set StoredObject = Objects.Items("MyCollection")
  Log.Message("The total number of property values stored by the collection: " & StoredObject.PropertyCount)

  ' Access the specified stored property
  Set StoredObjectProperty = StoredObject.Properties(0)
    ' --or--
  ' Set StoredObjectProperty = StoredObject.PropertyByName("Caption")
  PropertyName = StoredObjectProperty.Name
  PropertyValue = StoredObjectProperty.Value
  Log.Message(PropertyName & " = " & PropertyValue)
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test1;
begin
  // Obtains the specified property collection
  StoredObject := Objects.Items('MyCollection');
  Log.Message('The total number of property values stored by the collection: ' + StoredObject.PropertyCount);

  // Access the specified stored property
  StoredObjectProperty := StoredObject.Properties(0);
    // --or--
  // StoredObjectProperty := StoredObject.PropertyByName('Caption');
  PropertyName := StoredObjectProperty.Name;
  PropertyValue := StoredObjectProperty.Value;
  Log.Message(PropertyName + ' = ' + PropertyValue);
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test1()
{
  // Obtains the specified property collection
  StoredObject = Objects["Items"]("MyCollection");
  Log["Message"]("The total number of property values stored by the collection: " + StoredObject["PropertyCount"]);

  // Access the specified stored property
  StoredObjectProperty = StoredObject["Properties"](0);
    // --or--
  // StoredObjectProperty = StoredObject["PropertyByName"]("Caption");
  PropertyName = StoredObjectProperty["Name"];
  PropertyValue = StoredObjectProperty["Value"];
  Log["Message"](PropertyName + " = " + PropertyValue);
}
