In my scriptable app, one of the properties is of a named record type, and that record type has been declared in the sdef as well (named "custom record").
I can get the record like this:
get owner of anElement
--> {pool:"test", position:2}
I can also successfully test for it like this:
set target to {pool:"test", position:2}
if owner of anElement = target then
-- found!
But I cannot use it in a whose clause:
get allElements whose owner = target
--> {}
I also cannot use missing value in the test:
get allElements whose owner = missing value
--> error number -1700 from missing value to custom record
Is that expected behavior with AppleScript, i.e. is it unable to handle records in whose clauses?
Or am I doing something wrong? I have so far not implemented any coercion handlers nor special record handlers because nothing has indicated that I'd need them.
Also, please see my related question: Cocoa Scripting: Returning "null" vs. "missing value"
Short answer : It's expected behavior.
The whose clause works only for element reference types (classes which have an object specifier), but not for record types and custom lists.
Even the selection property of the Finder cannot be filtered by a whose clause.

I am facing issues in performing certain actions based on the value in the excel file cell data.
Actions like if value is "NORMAL" then click Container type = Normal (radio button)
Similarly the Unit Container Value
Following is my code:
I am getting this error while performing action .WebElement("Container_Type_Normal").Click
Your error is because you can't start a line with . unless your within a with - and i can't see a with in your function. (i also don't recommend using a with as the can cause needless confusion)
The .webelement object is a catch-all type of object that is the child of other web objects or .page. You need this to be a full and valid path to the object, by this i mean start with browser().page().
You have a couple of options:
You can either make this a full path to your object based on the object repository:
Browser("<<OR Browser name>>").Page("<<OR Page name>>").WebElement("<<Your webelement name>>".click
For this, look at your OR and insert your names.
Or, option 2, you can use descriptive programming:
Browser("CreationTime:=0").Page("index:=0").WebElement("text:=" & fieldValue,"index:=0").click
That will take the browser that was created first (Creation time 0), the only page it has and the first (index 0) web element that contains your text (text is field value).
I'm assuming that you only have one browser, and that the first element that contains the text you want is what you want to click. You may need to add more layers too this or
A good approach is to mirror what is OR or use the object spy to ensure these properties are correct.
I have a script in which I filter the data in a module by a certain attribute value. When I then loop through these objects, for now, I am displaying the absolute number of the objects in an infoBox. However, the script is displaying absolute numbers of objects that are not in the dataset. Upon further investigation, I found that the extra absolute numbers were for each table within the entire module. I can't figure out why the script would include these tables when they are not in the filtered module data. I have even tried manually filtering the module on this attribute value then use the "Tools -> Edit DXL" to loop through the resulting items and it still displays the numbers for the tables that are not included. Why would it do this?
Here's my code:
bm2 = moduleVar
Filter fltr = contains(attribute "RCR_numbers", sRCRNum, false);
filtering on;
set(bm2, fltr);
for oObj in document(bm2) do {
absNum = oObj."Absolute Number";
infoBox("Object #" absNum ".");
}
I have also tried removing the document cast so it says "for oObj in bm2 do" instead, but this doesn't change the output. Why is the code giving me objects that are not in the filter? Any help would be greatly appreciated since this is a high priority issue for my project and I'm out of ideas myself.

In the DOORS 9.6.1 DXL Reference Manual you can see that:
for object in document
Assigns the variable o to be each successive
object in module. It is equivalent to the for object in module loop,
except that it includes table header objects, but not the row header
objects nor cells.
So, you must either use for object in module or, within your existing loop, test the hidden attribute TableType - this will be set to TableNone for anything that is not part of a table, table headers included.
I have several tables in my application that are displaying lists of objects from classes. I have properties to represent each value in those classes as defined in the following example
...
Public Property Cod() As Int32
Get
Return _codigo
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Int32)
_codigo = value
End Set
End Property
...
My code hides every column and then, I use the "formatarCol" method to state which columns I want shown represented as the second parameter(which must have the same name as the properties mentioned above) and the name to be displayed for that column as the third parameter.
...
Utilidades.formatarCol(.Columns, "Cod", "Cod")
Utilidades.formatarCol(.Columns, "Estab", "Estabelecimento")
Utilidades.formatarCol(.Columns, "Sel", "Sel.")
...
Everything is working fine but I was trying to rename some of the properties. If I rename said properties I have to go to each table and manually change each string. I can't just use a replace all because different classes may have properties with the same name.
I was hoping that someone had a suggestion on how to get the Property's name instead of manually adding a string so that if I need to rename a Property again I won't have to manually go through every column where it's used and change the string.
You can rename property via refactor:
Right click your property in code -> Refactor -> Rename
It will only rename property for your class and for all occurrences of that property.
To access the name of a property in a class you can use NameOf
Example:
NameOf([Namespace to class].Cod) //returns "Cod"
Good evening all,
Writing an application in IronPython that will act as a message spoofer for a system that has not been developed far enough to test for our system. Part of the application is a set of tables that show values for messages and commands. In the case of commands there are some fields of our commands that have enum values. The command table is to have a drop-down box with those enum options in it.
My approach is to create a DataSet for each of our messages. The DataSet has a DataTable that had the message fields in it and the message values. It also has a table for each enum type in the message. So, the following code is what I use to figure out if the field is a normal field or an enum field.
msg = mpas.M120()
msg_fields = msg.DESCRIPTOR.fields
for field in msg_fields:
fieldEnumType = msg.DESCRIPTOR.fields_by_name[field.name].enum_type
print("{} --> EnumType: {}".format(field.name, fieldEnumType.name if fieldEnumType != None else 'None'))
I have also found that this works for me as well:
msg = mpas.M120()
msg_fields = msg.DESCRIPTOR.fields
for k,v in msg.DESCRIPTOR.fields_by_name.items():
print ("{} --> {}".format(k, ((v.enum_type).name if v.enum_type != None else 'None')))
What I will get from this is the name of the enum for each of the enum fields. I now want to be able to get a list of all of the values for each of the enum fields found. Here is the trick, enums that are used by a certain message and only that message are defined at the message level (i.e. mpas.M120().. Enums that are used by other messages are defined at the top level (i.e. mpas..
So, how would I go about finding the values for these enums so I can populate my drop-down boxes? I have been working on this for the better part of a day now and I cannot figure it out.
Thanks in advance...
You've already found v.enum_type, which is the EnumDescriptor corresponding to the field's enum type. You are getting name from here, but this object also contains a list of values. See the documentation here:
https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/python/google.protobuf.descriptor.EnumDescriptor-class
If I have a collection of forms (myForms) and I want to switch the position of two forms in the collection (say items 3 and 4 for example), I would expect that the following code would work:
Dim temp as Form
Set temp = myForms(3)
Set myForms(3) = myForms(4)
Set myForms(4) = temp
But that doesn't work. It fails at the third line with the error "Controls property is read only." If I change the line to:
myForms(3) = myForms(4)
I get a type mismatch error instead.
If myForms is a standard collection:
Dim myForms as New Collection
(which is actually different from the controls collection) and you've added the forms using:
myForms.Add frmOne, myForms.Add frmTwo
etc then (yes) you do need to use the Add and Remove methods because of the way the collection references the added objects.
Otherwise the interpretation is that you actually want to replace one form with another and this is not allowed. You can't say:
Set frmOne = frmTwo
unless these are actually variables of type Form.
Why do you need to switch the order? Are you referencing the item numbers somewhere? Would using a Dictionary to collect the forms and reference them by a key be useful?
PS. The type mismatch is simply because both items are objects and need to be 'Set'.
You can't actually swap around items in the controls collection in VB6. You need to use the Add and Remove functions associated with each. Check out this article:
