Flex List Properties

Applies to TestComplete 15.20, last modified on January 19, 2022
Flash Player has reached end of life on December 31, 2020. Support for Flash and Flex applications is now deprecated in TestComplete and will be removed in a future release.

When testing Flex List controls, you can use specific properties of the corresponding test object as well as properties that TestComplete applies to all test and onscreen objects. All of these properties are listed below. The properties are organized into categories: Standard, Extended, RTTI, Debug Agent and others. For more information about this, see Categories of Object Methods and Properties.

Other Categories

Name Description
Caption Returns the object’s accessibility name.
FlexObject Provides a scripting interface to public native methods and properties of the underlying Flex object.

If TestComplete has access to internal methods, properties and files of your tested application (that is, if it is an Open Application), you can call the internal methods and properties as methods and properties of the appropriate test objects. You can view these properties and methods in corresponding categories (Private, Public, RTTI, Debug Agent, Firefox, and so on). These methods and properties are not described in the TestComplete help file. For more information on them, please see the documentation for the development tools that was used to create the application under test.
