ITarget interface
The ITarget interface abstracts the notion of a testable item, which is the central focus of the WDTF object model.
Members
The ITarget interface inherits from ITracing. ITarget also has the following types of members:
- Methods
- Properties
Methods
The ITarget interface has the following methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Eval | Evaluates whether the target matches a given Simple Data Evaluation Language (SDEL) statement. |
| GetInterface | Retrieves an instantiated, target-specific implementation of an Action Interface. |
| GetRelations | Retrieves a subset of related targets that are packaged into a new instance of the ITargets collection interface. |
| GetValue | Retrieves a single value from the target, given a single field. |
Properties
The ITarget interface has the following properties.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
Retrieves or sets user data for the target by specifying a tag. |
|
A string that identifies the depot that the target comes from. |
Remarks
You can retrieve instances of the ITarget interface only through other interfaces (such as the IDeviceDepot interface and the ISystemDepot interface).
The lifetime of a target is tied to its creator; that is, if you retrieve a target from the DeviceDepot property, the target will exist as long as the DeviceDepot property exists.
You cannot copy an instance of the ITarget interface; even if you add a target to a collection, you really just add a reference to the same instance.
Implementation Details
ProgID: (Use the IWDTF aggregation interface to instantiate)
TraceLevel Path: HKCR\WDTF.Target.1\
Note The implementation of this interface is not thread-safe.
