$set Method

Applies to TestComplete 14.70, last modified on April 22, 2021

Description

In JavaScript code, you can use $set to assign a value to an object’s property given the property name as a string. $set works similar to aqObject.SetPropertyValue, but is easier to use in JavaScript.

$set is also the only way to set the value of a parameterized property. Instead of

obj.property(param1, param2) = value;

you must use

obj.$set("property", param1, param2, value);

Declaration

Obj.$set(PropertyNameParam1Param2, ..., Value)
