Description
The SelectItem action sets the tree view selection to the item specified by the Item parameter. Note that the item is selected, but the mouse pointer is not moved to it, as it would be with ClickItem or DblClickItem.
Declaration
TestObj.SelectItem(Item)
| TestObj | A variable, parameter or expression that specifies a reference to one of the objects listed in the Applies To section | |||
| Item | [in] | Required | Variant | |
| Result | None | |||
Applies To
The method is applied to the following object:
View Mode
To view this method in the Object Browser panel and in other panels and dialogs, activate the Advanced view mode.
Parameters
The method has the following parameter:
Item
Specifies the path to the desired item. The path should be relative to the current item or to the tree root, respectively. To indicate that the path starts from the tree root, place the pipeline character ( | ) at the beginning of the path.
Each item in the path can be specified by its caption or index; individual captions and indexes must be separated with pipeline characters ( | ). Indexes must be enclosed in brackets - [ and ].
To indicate variable parts of the item caption, you can use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wildcards. The asterisk corresponds to a string of any length, the question mark corresponds to any single character. The caption can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive depending on the value of the Use case-sensitive parameters project setting.
| Note: | If the item caption includes a bracket or a pipeline character, address the item by its index or with the question mark wildcard. |
Result Value
None.
Remarks
If the specified item is not found, SelectItem fails and posts an error message to the test log.
Example
The following example demonstrates how you can use the SelectItem method in scripts:
JavaScript, JScript
function TreeViewSample()
{
var p, TreeView;
// Obtain the application process and the TreeView control
p = Sys.Process("MyTestedApp");
TreeView = p.Window("MyWndClass", "*").Window("SysTreeView32");
// Click some items
TreeView.SelectItem(0);
TreeView.SelectItem("|Root1|Child5");
TreeView.wItems.Item("Root2").Items.Item("Child4").Select();
TreeView.wItems.Item("Root1").Select();
}
Python
def TreeViewSample():
# Obtain the application process and the TreeView control
p = Sys.Process("MyTestedApp")
TreeView = p.Window("MyWndClass", "*").Window("SysTreeView32")
# Click some items
TreeView.SelectItem(0)
TreeView.SelectItem("|Root1|Child5")
TreeView.wItems.Item["Root2"].Items.Item["Child4"].Select()
TreeView.wItems.Item["Root1"].Select()VBScript
Sub TreeViewSample
Dim p, TreeView
' Obtain the application process and the TreeView control
Set p = Sys.Process("MyTestedApp")
Set TreeView = p.Window("MyWndClass", "*").Window("SysTreeView32")
' Click some items
TreeView.SelectItem(0)
TreeView.SelectItem("|Root1|Child5")
TreeView.wItems.Item("Root2").Items.Item("Child4").Select()
TreeView.wItems.Item("Root1").Select()
End Sub
DelphiScript
procedure TreeViewSample;
var p, TreeView : OleVariant;
begin
// Obtain the application process and the TreeView control
p := Sys.Process('MyTestedApp');
TreeView := p.Window('MyWndClass', '*').Window('SysTreeView32');
// Click some items
TreeView.SelectItem(0);
TreeView.SelectItem('|Root1|Child5');
TreeView.wItems.Item('Root2').Items.Item('Child4').Select();
TreeView.wItems.Item('Root1').Select();
end;
C++Script, C#Script
function TreeViewSample()
{
var p, TreeView;
// Obtain the application process and the TreeView control
p = Sys["Process"]("MyTestedApp");
TreeView = p["Window"]("MyWndClass", "*")["Window"]("SysTreeView32");
// Click some items
TreeView["SelectItem"](0);
TreeView["SelectItem"]("|Root1|Child5");
TreeView["wItems"]["Item"]("Root2")["Items"]["Item"]("Child4")["Select"]();
TreeView["wItems"]["Item"]("Root1")["Select"]();
}
