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

Description

TestObj.wIsDropDownButton(ItemBy Position)

Read-Only Property Boolean

View Mode

To view this property in the Object Browser panel and in other panels and dialogs, activate the Advanced view mode.

Parameters

The property has the following parameters:

Item

Specifies either caption or identifier of the desired item, or its position on the control (from 0). For more information, see the Remarks section.

By Position

Specifies whether the Item parameter specifies the identifier or position of the item. For more information, see the Remarks section. If Item holds a string, the ByPosition parameter is ignored.

Property Value

True, if the specified item is a drop-down, otherwise False. If the specified item does not exist, the property will also return False.

Remarks

You can specify the desired control’s item by assigning item’s caption, identifier or position on the control to the Item parameter. Therefore, if this parameter holds a string, TestComplete identifies the item by caption. When Item specifies the caption, you can use wildcards (* and ?) or regular expressions to mark variable parts of the caption. The caption can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on the value of the Use case-sensitive parameters project setting. If Item holds an integer value, then TestComplete checks the ByPosition parameter to determine in what way to identify the item: if ByPosition is True, TestComplete treats the Item value as the item position; if ByPosition is False, TestComplete treats the Item value as an identifier.

If you use Python or DelphiScript, you should enclose the parameters of the wlsDropDownButton property in square brackets: wlsDropDownButton[Item, ByPosition].
