Can I use objXfa.ChildObjects( ) to filter?
Sep 2, 2010 8:49 AM
I have a subform that typically contains N+1 child objects: typically 1 header element and N rows. I want to get the number of children, without making assumptions on the number of non-Row children (ie. I don't want the script to break just because a footer element was added). All of the rows have the RO property "name" set to "sfRow" (while the header's name is set to "sfHeader"). So following the lead of other QTP testing domains, I wrote:
Function GetNumRows( testobjSubform )
Dim oMatchingDesc
Set oMatchingDesc = Description.Create()
oMatchingDesc("name").value = "sfRow"
GetNumRows = testobjSubform.ChildObjects( oMatchingDesc ).Count
End Function
This function consistently returns N+1, not the desired N, nor 0 (which would indicate my Description was filtering too much).
So, I assume AcroQTP's implementation of object.ChildObjects( [x] ) is different from all other (example help-doc below) implementations of object.ChildObjects( [x] ). Is this correct?
Thanks,
Brent
