Difference between node and element in context.

[Former Member]

Hi

I have below context elements.

Root Context

-

---

Node Test

-

---

Value T1

Now there are 2 ways I can access to value attribute t1.

1.

wdContext.currentTestElement().getT1()

2.

wdContext.nodeTest().currentTestElement().getT1();

What is difference.

There is no difference, wdContext.currentXXXElement is just a shortcut and easier to use for the developer. What really happens in the background is "get the node, then the current element (the element with the active index)

Adding to that, I believe the 'longer' version provides more readability for other developers. So, better to use the longer version, IMO.

Thanks for comments,

But after working on it now as I find is :

If your elements are subject to exist n times at runtime, in that case currentcontextelement automatically gives you access to active context node. Wereas, nodexxx() gives access to the node element as a group, after which you can access to any elemt inside that node group. e.g.

wdContext.nodeTest().getElementAt(n)

Thanks
