Method Detail

getForm

public Form<?> getForm()

Retrieves the current Form object.

For multiple choice, such as Checkbox or ListMultipleChoice, the selection will accumulate.

Parameters:

formComponentId - relative path (from Form) to the selectable FormComponent

index - index of the selectable option, starting from 0

Returns:

This

selectMultiple

public FormTester selectMultiple(java.lang.String formComponentId,
                                 int[] indexes)
