Using RunTime Object Properties in Descriptive Programming

In Descriptive programming we will specify properties in script or in a vbs file. In regular usage for any object we use only test object properties. The usage of runtime object properties should be like this

Using TO Properties

Browser("Title:=Google").Page("Title:=Google").WebEdit("name:=q").set "hi"

Using RO Properties

Browser("attribute/LocationName:=Google").Page("attribute/nameProp:=Google").WebEdit("attribute/name:=q").set "hi"

When specifying run time object properties in descriptive programming, before specifying property value add attribute/propertyname.

Using RunTime Object Properties in Object Repository
To use runtime object properties for object repository we need to configure Object Identification settings.

1. Decide for which object and what ROproperties you want to add
2. Add the property name in mandatory properties list
3. Add the object in Object Repository

Ex:
I want to add a property (title) for web edit object. While adding I should mention the property name as attribute/title. Because the property which we are specifying is RO property.

Go to Tools--> Object Identification --> Select Web Environment--> Select WebEdit class -->Click on Add/Remove Button under Mandatory properties --> Click on New button -->Specify New Property Name as attribute/title -->OK-->OK-->OK

Now there is a ROproperty called title added to webedit object class.

Go to Object Repository window and add Google search edit box. You will identify attribute/title:= Google Search.
