check item exists

Description

Check for the existence of a specified item in a list box, list view, or combo box control. Result is Passed ifthe item is found; otherwise Failed.

This action may be used within the following project items: test modules and user-defined actions.

item argument:
- The item argumentmay be specified by either of two means:the displayed text of the item, or its numerical index. (Indexes are one-based; that is, numbering begins at 1.)
  Restriction:
  Using numerical index values is not supported for Oracle Forms and Microsoft UI Automation (UIA).
- Enclose a numerical text string in quotation marks to differentiate it from a numerical index value. For example, if a text value of an item in a control has a value of 12, you should reference that item by passing 12 surrounded by quotation marks (that is, “12”) instead of the numerical 12. Passing the numerical 12 is treated as a reference to an item with an index of 12, rather than an item holding a text string value of 12.
- For list view controls only, to specify an item argument by its text content, enter the combined values of every cell, from left to right, with vertical bars ( | ) as delimiters.
This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
