Methods

Name	Description
CaptureBitmap	Saves a bitmap image of this object to a file. If you do not specify an absolute file name, the bitmap is saved to the default bitmap location on the machine that runs the Agent, which is %LOCALAPPDATA%/Silk/SilkTest/capturedBitmaps. The captured bitmap's pixels are stored in 32bit RGB order; when parsing the image the 4th byte (alpha channel) of every pixel must be ignored as it is used only for padding. In .NET, the constant System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb can be used for this purpose. (Inherited from TestObject)
ChangeFocus	Changes the current focus. (Inherited from FlexObject)
Click	Clicks on the object. (Inherited from IClickable)
DoubleClick	Double-clicks a mouse button on the object. (Inherited from IClickable)
DragCancel	Defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragComplete event. (Inherited from FlexContainer)
DragDrop	Defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragDrop event. (Inherited from FlexContainer)
DragStart	Defines the value of the type property of the event object for a dragStart event. (Inherited from FlexContainer)
Exists	Checks if any child object matching the locator exists for an object in the application under test. If the `timeout` parameter is passed the agent retries finding until the given timeout expires. If no timeout is specified and no object is found initially `false` is returned immediately. (Inherited from TestObject)
Exists	Checks if an object exists in the application under test. (Inherited from TestObject)
Find	Finds an object specified by an XPath locator. (Inherited from TestObject)
FindAll	Finds all objects specified by an XPath locator. (Inherited from TestObject)

GetParent	Looks up the parent of this object in the test application. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetProperty	Returns the value of the specified property. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetPropertyList	Returns a list of property names that can be retrieved for the given object. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetRect	Returns the size and position of this object. Per default the returned coordinates are relative to the parent window that contains this object. (Inherited from TestObject)
GetStyle	Returns the style value for the given style. For available styles consider the Apache Flex sdk documentation. (Inherited from FlexDisplayObject)
GetValues	Returns a matrix containing the automation values of all parts of the components. The return value is an array of rows, each of which is an array of items. (Inherited from FlexContainer)
HighlightObject	Highlights this object. (Inherited from TestObject)
ImageClick	Clicks on specified image asset. (Inherited from TestObject)
ImageClickFile	Clicks on the specified image. (Inherited from TestObject)

ImageExistsFile	Returns whether the specified image exists. (Inherited from TestObject)
ImageRectangle	Returns the object-relative rectangle of the specified image asset. (Inherited from TestObject)
ImageRectangleFile	Returns the object-relative rectangle of the specified image. (Inherited from TestObject)
Invoke	Dynamically invokes a method on the test object. (Inherited from TestObject)
InvokeMethods	Dynamically invokes a sequence of methods starting at this TestObject. (Inherited from TestObject)
MouseMove	Moves the pointer to the specified location in the object. This method is not supported for mobile Web applications. (Inherited from IClickable)
MouseScroll	Dispatched when a mouse wheel is spun over an InteractiveObject instance. (Inherited from FlexContainer)
Move	Moves the component to a specified position within its parent. Calling this method is the same as setting the component's x and y properties. (Inherited from FlexObject)
PressKeys	Presses (but does not release) a set of keys or mouse buttons. (Inherited from IKeyable)
PressMouse	Presses (but does not release) a mouse button in the object. This method is not supported for mobile Web applications. (Inherited from IClickable)
ReleaseKeys	Releases a set of keys or mouse buttons. (Inherited from IKeyable)
ReleaseMouse	Releases a mouse button. This method is not supported for mobile Web applications. (Inherited from IClickable)
Scroll	Dispatched when the user manually scrolls the container. (Inherited from FlexContainer)
SetFocus	Sets the focus to this component. The component may in turn pass focus to a subcomponent. (Inherited from FlexObject)
SetProperty	Sets the value of the specified property. (Inherited from TestObject)
StartScreenRecording	Starts screen recording (Inherited from TestObject)
StopScreenRecording	Stops screen recording (Inherited from TestObject)
TextCapture	Returns the text in this object's visible area. (Inherited from TestObject)
TextClick	Clicks in the center of the specified text. (Inherited from TestObject)
TextExists	Returns whether the specified text exists. (Inherited from TestObject)
TextRectangle	Returns the object-relative rectangle of the specified text. (Inherited from TestObject)
ToString	Returns a string representation of the control. (Inherited from FlexDisplayObject)
TypeKeys	Sends a set of keystrokes to the object. (Inherited from IKeyable)
TypePasswordKeys	Types an encrypted password into an object, for example a text field. (Inherited from IKeyable)
WaitForChildDisappearance	Waits until the specified child object does not exist or until the timeout is reached. If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF will be used. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForDisappearance	Waits until the object does not exist or until the timeout is reached. If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF will be used. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForObject	Waits for an object that matches the specified locator. If no object matches within an timeout an ObjectNotFoundException is thrown. The default timeout is 5 seconds and you can change the timeout by setting the value of the option `OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF`. Use WaitForObject if the AUT takes a long time to display a specific object, for example when a transaction is processed before showing any results. By default, an action in the UI does not require a WaitForObject, because of the built-in synchronization. If you receive random timeout errors during normal script execution, consider increasing the default timeout instead of adding WaitForObject statements to your scripts. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForProperty	Waits until the specified property has the specified value or until the timeout is reached.If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF will be used. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForPropertyNotEquals	Waits until the specified property has a value that is different to the specified value or until the timeout is reached.If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF will be used. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
WaitForScreenshotStable	Waits until the control is visually stable and does not change its position, by comparing screenshots taken with the specified interval. If you don't explicitly pass a timeout using the optional timeout parameter, the timeout specified by the option OPT_WAIT_SCREENSHOT_STABLE will be used. The default interval is 200 milliseconds. An exception is thrown if the timeout is reached. (Inherited from TestObject)
