Search Patterns
To search for objects in Silverlight applications, you use search patterns of the SlPattern type.
.NET: The pattern belongs to the SmartBear.TestLeft.TestObjects.Silverlight namespace.
Java: The pattern belongs to the com.smartbear.testleft.testobjects package.
This pattern uses the following properties:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Enabled |
Boolean | Specifies whether the object is enabled or disabled. Disabled objects are usually shown grayed out. |
SlFullClassName |
String | The object’s full class name including the namespace name. For example, System.Windows.Controls.RadioButton. |
SlObjectIndex |
Integer | The object’s index (0-based) among sibling objects with the same class name. |
SlObjectName |
String | The object name specified by the developers in the application’s source code. |
SlObjectText |
String | The object text. Usually, this is the value of the object’s Text or Content native property.
|
Visible |
Boolean | Specifies whether the object is visible in the application. Objects that are out of screen bounds or overlapped by other objects are still considered visible. |
You can use any combination of these properties in your Silverlight search patterns.
Example
C#
ICheckBox checkBox = webpage.Find<IWindow>(new WebElementPattern()
{
ObjectType = "Object",
idStr = "MySilverlightApp"
}, 5).Find<ITabControl>(new SlPattern()
{
SlObjectName = "SamplesTab"
}).Find<ICheckBox>(new SlPattern()
{
SlFullClassName = "System.Windows.Controls.CheckBox",
SlObjectText = "IsReadOnly"
});
Visual Basic .NET
Dim checkBox As ICheckBox = webpage.Find(Of IWindow)(New WebElementPattern() With {
.ObjectType = "Object",
.idStr = "MySilverlightApp"
}, 5).Find(Of ITabControl)(New SlPattern() With {
.SlObjectName = "SamplesTab"
}).Find(Of ICheckBox)(New SlPattern() With {
.SlFullClassName = "System.Windows.Controls.CheckBox",
.SlObjectText = "IsReadOnly"
})
Java
CheckBox checkBox = webpage.find(Window.class, new WebElementPattern() {{
ObjectType = "Object";
idStr = "MySilverlightApp";
}}, 5).find(TabControl.class, new SlPattern() {{
SlObjectName = "SamplesTab";
}}).find(CheckBox.class, new SlPattern() {{
SlFullClassName = "System.Windows.Controls.CheckBox";
SlObjectText = "IsReadOnly";
}});
Custom Properties
You can also specify custom properties by using the .add("propertyname", value) method of the pattern object. See Using Custom Properties in Search Patterns.
