The object-driven testing (ODT) functionality is deprecated. Do not use it to create new tests. It will be removed from the product in one of the future releases. As an alternative, you can create custom classes in your scripts. For more information, see Alternatives to the ODT functionality.

Description

Use the Property.Name property to specify the property name. Note that you cannot rename an object property if it was defined in a class. At the “object” level, you can rename only those properties that you added to the object using the AddProperty method after the object was created.

Declaration

PropertyObj.Name

Read-Write Property

String

PropertyObj

An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a Property object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Property

Property Value

A string that holds the property name.

Remarks

When changing this property, keep in mind that the property name must be unique within the class or object to which the property belongs. If the class or object already contains another method or property with the same name, an error will occur. Also, the property name is used to refer to the property in scripts. Therefore, the property name must match the naming rules of the project’s scripting languages (it must be a valid identifier). Otherwise, the scripts will not work.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to get access to an object’s property and obtain the property’s name.

JavaScript, JScript

function PropertySample()
{

  var PropertyObj, Obj, Name;
  // Creates an object
  Obj = ODT.Classes.New("SampleClass");
  // Gets access to the object’s property
  PropertyObj = Obj.Properties(0);
  // Obtains the property’s name
  Name = PropertyObj.Name;
  Log.Message(Name);

  …
}

VBScript

Sub PropertySample

  Dim PropertyObj, Obj
  ' Creates an object
  Set Obj = ODT.Classes.New("SampleClass")
  ' Gets access to the object’s property
  Set PropertyObj = Obj.Properties(0)
  ' Obtains the property’s name
  Name = PropertyObj.Name
  Log.Message Name

  …
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure PropertySample();
var PropertyObj, Obj, Name;
begin

  // Creates an object
  Obj := ODT.Classes.New('SampleClass');
  // Gets access to the object’s property
  PropertyObj := Obj.Properties[0];
  // Obtains the property’s name
  Name := PropertyObj.Name;
  Log.Message(Name);

  …
end;
