[LDTP-Dev] setappmap is not working (NameError: name 'setappmap' is not defined()

[Premkumar Jothimani]

Hi Mauricio,

I feel setcontext () API can be made use of in this situation. Though each
file is opened in a separate window, the map of the window is going to be
common. Hence you can use setcontext() to select windows based on the label.

FYI, the two arguments you have to pass to setcontext are
i. the first parameter is the value corresponding to the attribute "label"
present in the map file in the entry corresponding to the name of the window
itself.
For example, consider you have the following entries in the map file,
[frmWindow1]
frmWindow1={class=frame,parent="application-name",label="New Window"}
In the above case, "New Window" is the string i was referring to as the
first parameter
ii. The second parameter should be the new label that is present in the
title bar of the window at runtime.

The basic idea is to have a single map file, and then use setcontext() to
select the required window among all the available windows based on its
current label. Please make sure to do releasecontext() after every
setcontext() usage.

If you have any clarifications, please let me know, I will do my best to
make them straight.

Regards
Premkumar
