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.
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: 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 that the Flex API defines.
- 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, and string, lists, and other types, such as Point.
Returned Values
The following values are returned for properties and methods that have a return value:
- The correct value for all built-in
Silk Test Classic types. These types are listed in the
Supported Parameter Types section.
- All methods that have no return value return NULL.
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})
