Result
- item argument:
- The item argument may 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 passing12
surrounded by quotation marks (that is,"12"
) instead of the numerical12
. Passing the numerical12
is treated as a reference to an item with an index of 12, rather than an item holding a text string value of12
. - 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.
