Example - Case 2: Using numerical index
Action lines
window control item variable
get list check rental information adding service list 1 s1
get list check rental information adding service list 3 s2
get list check rental information adding service list 5 s3
Result
- item argument:
- The item argument may be specified by either of two means: the check box text, or its numerical index. (Indexes are one-based. That is, numbering begins at 1)
- 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 the variable in argument variable has 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.
