IsXMLContent Property

Applies to TestComplete 15.47, last modified on January 20, 2023
The manual testing functionality is deprecated. Do not use it for creating new tests. It will be removed in a future TestComplete release.

Description

Use this property to specify whether the step's content is described as an XML file and XSL file, or as an HTML file.

Declaration

ManualTestStepObj.IsXMLContent

Read-Write Property Boolean
ManualTestStepObj An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a ManualTestStep object

Applies To

The property is applied to the following object:

ManualTestStep

Property Value

True if the step content is stored in the XML+XSL format, False otherwise.

Remarks

If the step contents are stored in the XML+XSL format, the XMLFileName and XSLFileName properties specify the names of the appropriate XML and XSL files.

If the step contents are stored in the HTML format, the InstructionsURL property specify the names of the appropriate HTML file.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to specify the format in which test step instructions are stored.
