 get tree node status

get tree node status

Description

Retrieve the state(s) of a specified tree node.

Arguments

• window

  TA name of the window.

• control

  TA name of the tree control.

• node

  Path to the node (see Notes).

• variable

  (Optional) Variable to receive the returned value.

  Possible returned states:

  • expanded

    The tree node is in the expanded state.

  • collapsed

    The tree node is in the collapsed state.

  • leaf

    The tree node has zero child nodes, hence this node is not expandable.

Valid contexts

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

Notes

• node argument:
  • The node path may be specified by its display textor by a numerical index representing its cardinal placement in its branch, with index values starting at 1.
  • If a node path of more than one item must be specified, use forward slashes ( / ) as delimiters between node levels.
  • 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.
• variable argument:
  • If multiple states are returned to the variable, they are delimited by commas (,).
  • variable argument:
    • If the variable in argumentvariablehas not been declared, the action creates it as a global.
    • If the variable argument is left empty, TestArchitect supplies a global variable with the name _result.
• 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.
