Description Object

Description Object

Description object is used to create an empty description object in the script. We can add properties and values to the created object.

Using an empty Description object

Set obj=Description. create

Here “obj” is an empty object and contains no properties. This refers any object in application.

Ex:-

Set obj=Description. create

Set objList=Browser(“micclass:=Browser”).Page(“micclass:=Page”).Childobjects( obj)

Msgbox objList.count ‘Gives Total objects count in the page

Using Description object with properties

Set obj=Description. create

obj(“micclass”).value=”Link”

Now “obj“is a link object and it refers all link objects in application.

Ex:-

1)

Set obj=Description. create

obj(“micclass”).value=”Link”

Set objList=Browser(“micclass:=Browser”).Page(“micclass:=Page”).Childobjects( obj)

Msgbox objList.count ‘Gives Total Link objects count in the page

2)

Set obj=Description. create

obj(“micclass”).value=”Link”

obj(“name”).value=”Login”

Set objList=Browser(“micclass:=Browser”).Page(“micclass:=Page”).Childobjects( obj)

Msgbox objList.count ‘Gives only the link which is having “Login” name

Description object is useful when object properties are changing dynamically or if objects are adding in application dynamically and also to handle the duplicate objects (repeated objects).
