Casting in ivyScript

Question

I need to call a method on certain componentes within a rich dialog panel. I get all components of the panel and then loop over them like this:

List<ULCComponent> listComponent = panel.getComponents();
for(int i = 0; i < listComponent.size(); i++){
    if(listComponent.get(i) instanceof RLabel){
        RLabel label = (RLabel) listComponent.get(i);
        ((RLabel) listComponent.get(i)).setVisible(in.showLabel);
    }
}

In both lines with the casting I get exceptions:

Unexpected token: identifier 'listComponent'

What is wrong?

Accepted Answer

1	The normal Java casting `(RLabel) panel.getComponents(i)` does not work in ivyScript. You have to use `panel.getComponents(i) AS RLabel` then it should work. Do not forget to import RLabel. link answered 19.03.2010 at 03:41 Benedict Groppe (suspended) accept rate: 50%

Yeah, programmers ... Had the same issue. Basically it drills down to RTFM. It is properly documented in the designer users guide (V 7.1) under IvyScript Reference, Operators, "Type cast operator". I ended up writing helper classes to do the job. What a waste of time ... now to be refactored.
