ColumnName Property

Applies to TestComplete 14.72, last modified on April 22, 2021

Description

Project, project suite and keyword test variables of the Table type store two-dimensional arrays. The ColumnName property returns the name of a column belonging to the array TableVariable provides access to.

Declaration

TableVariableObj.ColumnName(Index)

Read-Only Property Integer
TableVariableObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a TableVariable object
Index [in]    Required    Integer    

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Parameters

The property has the following parameter:

Index

Specifies the index of the column whose name you want to obtain. The index is zero-based, that is, the first column has index 0, the second -  1, the third -  2, and so on. The total number of columns is specified by the ColumnCount property.

If the specified column does not exist, an error occurs.

Property Value

A string which is the name of the specified column.

Example

The code below demonstrates how you can iterate through the rows of an array stored in a Table variable.

JavaScript, JScript

function Test1()
{
  var MyVar, Iterator, ColName, value;
  MyVar = Project.Variables.MyTableVar; 
  Iterator = MyVar.Iterator;
  
  // Initializes the iterator
  Iterator.Reset();
  
  // Iterates through the rows
  while (!Iterator.IsEOF())
  {
    // Returns the column name by its index
    ColName = MyVar.ColumnName(1);
    
    // Retrieves values and posts them to the log    
    value = Iterator.Value(ColName);
    Log.Message(value);  
    
    // Forwards the iterator to the next row
    Iterator.Next();
  }
}

Python

def Test1():
  MyVar = Project.Variables.MyTableVar
  Iterator = MyVar.Iterator
  # Initializes the iterator
  Iterator.Reset()
  # Iterates through the rows 
  while not Iterator.IsEOF():
    # Returns the column name by its index 
    ColName = MyVar.ColumnName[1]
    # Retrieves values and posts them to the log     
    value = Iterator.Value[ColName]
    Log.Message(value)
    # Forwards the iterator to the next row 
    Iterator.Next()

VBScript

Sub Test1
  Set MyVar = Project.Variables.MyTableVar 
  Set Iterator = MyVar.Iterator
  
  ' Initializes the iterator
  Call Iterator.Reset
  
  ' Iterates through the rows
  While Not Iterator.IsEOF
    ' Returns the column name by its index
    Set ColName = MyVar.ColumnName(1)
    
    ' Retrieves values and posts them to the log    
    value = Iterator.Value(ColName)
    Log.Message(value)  
    
    ' Forwards the iterator to the next row
    Iterator.Next
  WEnd
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test1;
var
  MyVar, Iterator, ColName, value: OleVariant;
begin
  MyVar := Project.Variables.MyTableVar; 
  Iterator := MyVar.Iterator;
  
  // Initializes the iterator
  Iterator.Reset();
  
  // Iterates through the rows
  while not Iterator.IsEOF()do
  begin
    //Returns the column name by its index
    ColName := MyVar.ColumnName(1);
    
    // Retrieves values and posts them to the log    
    value := Iterator.Value[ColName];
    Log.Message(value);  
    
    // Forwards the iterator to the next row
    Iterator.Next();
  end;
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function Test1()
{
  var MyVar, Iterator, ColName, value;
  MyVar = Project["Variables"]["MyTableVar"]; 
  Iterator = MyVar["Iterator"];
  
  // Initializes the iterator
  Iterator["Reset"]();
  
  // Iterates through the rows
  while (!Iterator["IsEOF"]())
  {
    // Returns the column name by its index
    ColName = MyVar["ColumnName"](1);
    
    // Retrieves values and posts them to the log    
    value = Iterator["Value"](ColName);
    Log["Message"](value);  
    
    // Forwards the iterator to the next row
    Iterator["Next"]();
  }
}
