Next tag (JavaDDA) in Unified Service Desk
You can use the <Next> element to set the search pointer to the next UI element with the matching caption. If you use <Next/>, the search navigates to the next node within the tree. The <Next/> tag navigates down the tree branches, not among siblings within one node of the tree. To navigate within the tree node, use the match and offset attributes. This topic describes the attributes of <Next> tag.
Attributes of <Next> tag
The following table describes the attributes of the <Next> tag.
| Attribute | Description |

The following sample binding searches for the Close button in an application for three different cultures: English, German, and French:
<Controls>
<JAccControl name="CloseButton">
<Path>
<FindWindow>
<Class>SunAWTFrame</Class>
</FindWindow>
<Next culture="en-us">Close</Next>
<Next culture="de-de">Beenden</Next>
<Next culture="fr-fr">Fermer</Next>
</Path>
</JAccControl>
</Controls>
By using the attributes match and offset, you can navigate the accessibility tree for nodes with the same name (using match) or without an identifier (using offset). The following sample selects the second accessibility tree entry after the forth entry with the caption Name.
<JAccControl name="TestButton">
<Path>
<Next match="4", offset="2" >Name</Next>
</Path>
</JAccControl>
Note
The <Next/> and <NextName/> tags have the same function. When specifying your bindings, use the <Next> tag to be forward compatible.
