ParamType Property

Applies to TestComplete 15.0, last modified on November 17, 2021

Description

Use this property to obtain information about the data type of the script routine’s parameter.

Declaration

ScriptRoutineObj.ParamType(Index)

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

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

Parameters

The property has the following parameter:

Index

The index of the desired parameter relative to other parameters of the routine that correspond to ScriptRoutine. Index is zero-based, that is, the index of the first parameter is 0, the index of the second parameter is -  1 and so on. The total number of parameters are specified by the ScriptRoutine.ParamCount property.

Property Value

Currently, the property always returns 3. This constant corresponds to the Variant data type (in scripts, all variables and parameters are Variant).

Example

The following example demonstrates how to obtain information on the script routines that belong to the specified test project. The sample Visual Basic and C# applications obtain the script routines and display information on them.

Visual Basic

  ' Initializes variables

  Set IntegrationObject = TestCompleteApp.Integration

  ' Opens the project
  IntegrationObject.OpenProjectSuiteEx sProjectNameFileName

  ' Needed to process errors
  Err.Clear
  On Error GoTo Err_Label

  UserForm1.TextBox1.Text = ""
  UserForm1.Label1.Caption = ""

  ' Obtains the RoutinesIterator object
  Set RoutinesIterator = IntegrationObject.ProjectRoutinesIterator(sProjectName)

               Routine.ParamName(Routine.ParamCount - 1) & ")"
    Else

  Err_Label:
  ' Processes errors
  If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    MsgBox "An error has occurred while processing the script routines: " + Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error"
  End If
