Search Patterns
To search for objects in Visual Basic 6 applications, you use search patterns of the VBPattern type.
.NET: The pattern belongs to the SmartBear.TestLeft.TestObjects.VB 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. |
Index |
Integer |
Used for windowed objects. The object’s position in the front-to-back order (Z-order) within the parent object. Indexes start from 1 and are unique among sibling objects with the same window class (the WndClass property value). You can see this value in the TestLeft UI Spy. |
VBObjectName |
String | The object name specified by the developers in the application code. |
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. |
Example
C#
IButton button = Driver.Find<IProcess>(new ProcessPattern()
{
ProcessName = "VB6AppDemo"
}).Find<ITopLevelWindow>(new VBPattern()
{
VBObjectName = "frmMain"
}).Find<IButton>(new VBPattern()
{
VBObjectName = "cmdGetResults"
});
Visual Basic .NET
Dim button As IButton = Driver.Find(Of IProcess)(New ProcessPattern() With {
.ProcessName = "VB6AppDemo"
}).Find(Of ITopLevelWindow)(New VBPattern() With {
.VBObjectName = "frmMain"
}).Find(Of IButton)(New VBPattern() With {
.VBObjectName = "cmdGetResults"
})
Java
Button button = driver.find(TestProcess.class, new ProcessPattern() {{
ProcessName = "VB6AppDemo";
}}).find(TopLevelWindow.class, new VBPattern() {{
VBObjectName = "frmMain";
}}).find(Button.class, new VBPattern() {{
VBObjectName = "cmdGetResults";
}});
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.
