Checking if an object exists?

Tarantoga · **Posted:** June 26th, 2006, 4:02 pm

Is it possible to check if a certain object exists via opus script? I have some scripts e.g. for checking checkboxes and radiobuttons. On some pages I have 5 radiobuttons on others only 3 or 2.

When checking the button states via script I naturally get an error message when one of the buttons which the script checks is not on the current page.

So I like to check first if the buttons exists and start the check function only if this is the case.

If you put all of your objects in a frame you could then use the following to determine how many objects are on that particualr page.

Code:

var numOfChildren = framename.GetNumberChildren();

And use the numOfChildren as a counter for your other scripts, and that way it would cycle through as many as you needed.

Code:

for (x=0;x<numOfChildren;x++)
{
...
}
