This functionality is supported only if you are using the Open Agent.
You can call methods, retrieve properties, and set properties on controls that
Silk Test Classic does not expose by using the dynamic invoke feature. This feature is useful for working with custom controls and for working
with controls that
Silk Test Classic supports without customization.
Call dynamic methods on objects with the
DynamicInvoke method. To retrieve a list of supported dynamic methods for a control, use the
GetDynamicMethodList() method.
Call multiple dynamic methods on objects with the
DynamicInvokeMethods method. To retrieve a list of supported dynamic methods for a control, use the
GetDynamicMethodList method.
Retrieve dynamic properties with the
GetProperty method and set dynamic properties with the
SetProperty() method. To retrieve a list of supported dynamic properties for a control, use the
GetPropertyList() method.
Note: Typically, most properties are read-only and cannot be set.
Supported Methods and Properties
The following methods and properties can be called:
- Methods and properties that
Silk Test Classic supports for the control.
- All public methods of the SWT, AWT, or Swing widget.
- If the control is a custom control that is derived from a standard control, all methods and properties from the standard
control can be called.
Supported Parameter Types
The following parameter types are supported:
- All built-in
Silk Test Classic types.
- Silk Test Classic types includes primitive types (such as boolean, int, string), lists, and other types (such as Point and Rect).
- Enum types.
- Enum parameters must be passed as string. The string must match the name of an enum value. For example, if the method expects
a parameter of the enum type, java.sql.ClientInfoStatus you can use the string values of REASON_UNKNOWN, REASON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTY,
REASON_VALUE_INVALID, or REASON_VALUE_TRUNCATED.
Example
A custom calculator control has a
Reset method and an
Add method, which performs an addition of two numbers. You can use the following code to call the methods directly from your
tests:
customControl.Invoke("Reset")
REAL sum = customControl.DynamicInvoke("Add",{1,2})
