I was trying to run below script, but it's giving me an error that says:
object doesn't support this property or method: "dbrowser.GetRoProperty"
SystemUtil.Run "iexplore.exe","http://usps.com/"
Set dbrowser = description.Create
dbrowser ("micclass").value = "Browser"
dbrowser("openurl").value = "https://www.usps.com"
dbrowser("title").value = "USPS - The United States Postal Service (U.S. Postal Service)"
print(dbrowser.getroproperty("title"))
Your dbrowser object is of type Description not Browser you need to create a Browser object based on this description. Replace the last line with:
Print Browser(dbrowser).GetROProperty("title")
Note, there are two changes here
Using Browser(dbrowser)
Removing the parens from the print sub.
Edit: also note that descriptions are regular expressions by default so the parens in the title may cause problems, you should mark it as not regex.
dbrowser("title").RegularExpression = False
Description.Create is used to create a 0-based Properties collection object. The variable dbrowser is preceded by the Set statement. Usage of Set statement binds an object as a reference to another object. Therefore, dbrowser becomes an object reference to the description object represented by Description.Create
A description object does not have a stand-alone use, but coupled with the ChildObjects method, it becomes an extremely powerful approach in dealing with AUT’s objects .For More Info, check link
So the code should be like
SystemUtil.Run "iexplore.exe","http://usps.com/"
wait(10)
Set dbrowser = description.Create
dbrowser ("micclass").value = "Browser"
dbrowser("openurl").value = "https://www.usps.com"
dbrowser("title").value = "USPS.*" ''Using Regular Expression here
Set colObject = Desktop.ChildObjects( dbrowser )
Print (colObject(0).GetROProperty("title"))

I know that with Descriptive programming you can do something like this:
Browser("StackOverflow").Page("StackOverflow").Link("text:=Go To Next Page ", "html tag:=A").Click
But is it possible to create some kind of string so I can assign more than one data value and pass it as single variable? I've tried many combinations using escape characters and I always get error.
For example in the case above, let's say I have more properties in the Page object, so I'd normally have to do something like this:
Browser("StackOverflow").Page("name:=StackOverflow", "html id:=PageID")...etc...
But I'd like to pass "name:=StackOverflow", "html id:=PageID" as a single variable, so when writing many objects I'd only have to write:
Browser(BrowserString).Page(PageString).WebEdit("name:=asdfgh")
And the first part would remain static, so if the parents' data needs to be modified I'd only have to modify two variables and not all the objects created in all libraries.
Is it possible?
If I was not clear enough please let me know.
Thank you in advance!
I think what you're looking for is UFT's Description object
This allows you finer grained control on the description since in descriptive programming all values are regular expressions but with Description you can turn the regular expression functionality off for a specific property.
Set desc = Description.Create()
desc("html tag").Value = "A"
desc("innertext").Value = "More information..."
desc("innertext").RegularExpression = False
Browser("Example Domain").Navigate "www.example.com"
Browser("Example Domain").Page("Example Domain").WebElement(desc).Click
If you want to represent this with plain string then it's a bit more of a problem, you can write a helper function but I'm not sure I would recommend it.
Function Desc(descString)
Set ret = Description.Create()
values = Split(descString, "::")
For Each value In values
keyVal = Split(value, ":=")
ret(keyVal(0)).Value = keyVal(1)
Next
Set Desc = ret
End Function
' Usage
Browser("StackOverflow").Page("StackOverflow").WebElement(Desc("html tag:=H2::innertext:=some text")).Click
Further reading about descriptive programming.
As an alternative to Motti's excellent answer, you could also Set a variable to match your initial descriptive object and then extend it as required:
Set myPage = Browser("StackOverflow").Page("name:=StackOverflow", "html id:=PageID")
after which you can then use
myPage.WebEdit("name:=asdfgh")
throughout the rest of the code, so long as the myPage object stays in scope...
I've got two library functions:
Function searchWindow(title)
Set searchWindow = Window("title:=" + title)
End Function
And
Function searchField(label)
Set searchField = JavaEdit("attached text:=" + label)
End Function
Here I'm testing them:
Environment.Loadfromfile("C:\UFTConstants\constants.ini")
Set loginFrame = searchWindow(Environment.Value("frameLogin"))
loginFrame.Click
Set userField = searchField("User ID / Ci-Usager")
userField.Set "test"
The first function works fine, and it's title property matches that of the application. However, the second will not find the text field, despite properties matching:
The error:
I've tried other properties as well, tagname, various class properties, as well as combinations of all three, and none are producing a find.
Any ideas?
First Update
As per request, full spy screencap:
The full line generated by the recording tool:
JavaWindow("Application Name").JavaDialog("Window Title").JavaEdit("User ID / Ci-Usager").Set "user"
However, when I try to re-create this programmatically, I get the same error, only for JavaWindow instead:
"Cannot identify the object [JavaWindow] of (class JavaWindow)..."
Possible Java set-up issue? This would not explain why recording can still locate Java objects, however.
Second Update
Here are the recognition properties:
I have ensured that all properties are set, still unable to locate.
Final Update
Ok, I've reduced the code to absolute barebones. No external constant file, no external library calls. I've copied the full extent of what is recorded in recording mode. I've printed each variable to ensure accuracy. I've included the full object hierarchy:
Set objWin = JavaWindow("label:=<redacted>")
objWin.SetTOProperty "to_class", "JavaWindow"
objWin.SetTOProperty "toolkit class", "javax.swing.JFrame"
MsgBox objWin.GetTOProperty("label")
MsgBox objWin.GetTOProperty("to_class")
MsgBox objWin.GetTOProperty("toolkit class")
Set objDialog = objWin.JavaDialog("label:=<redacted>")
objDialog.SetTOProperty "to_class", "JavaDialog"
objDialog.SetTOProperty "toolkit class", "<redacted>.LoginDialog"
MsgBox objDialog.GetTOProperty("label")
MsgBox objDialog.GetTOProperty("to_class")
MsgBox objDialog.GetTOProperty("toolkit class")
Set objEdit = objDialog.JavaEdit("attached text:=User ID / Ci-Usager")
objEdit.SetTOProperty "to_class", "JavaEdit"
objEdit.SetTOProperty "toolkit class", "javax.swing.JTextField"
MsgBox objEdit.GetTOProperty("attached text")
MsgBox objEdit.GetTOProperty("to_class")
MsgBox objEdit.GetTOProperty("toolkit class")
objEdit.Set "test"
Note the redacted text is to remove identifying elements from the code. They have been triple-checked on my side and are correct.
This still does not work.
However, recording the same does. What gives?
I think you have to mention the full hierarchy while working with the Javaedit field. Try re-writing the code for the function searchField as :
Function searchField(label)
Dim objFrame
Set objFrame = searchWindow(Environment.Value("frameLogin"))
Set searchField = objFrame.JavaEdit("attached text:=" + label) 'Javaedit should be the child of the login window. You had to mention the full hierarchy here
End Function
I have a VBScript that creates a big Word document. I need to have it insert a page break at the end so I can insert another select of text however I can't get the page break to work.
I've tried
objWord.Documents(tempFile).Activate
Set objSelection = objWord.Selection
objSelection.InsertBreak(7)
objWord.Documents(tempFile).Activate
Set objSelection = objWord.Selection
objSelection.InsertBreak(wdPageBreak)
objWord.Documents(tempFile).Activate
Set objSelection = objWord.Selection
objSelection.InsertBreak Type:=7
objWord.Documents(tempFile).Activate
Set objSelection = objWord.Selection
objSelection.InsertBreak Type:wdPageBreak
It just skips over it an inserts all the text without creating a page break.
I'm assuming you're using VBScript, since you're referencing Word using objWord instead of the Application object. I'm also assuming you have On Error Resume Next declared because you should be receiving an error trying to use some of those methods in VBScript. The param:=value syntax is not part of VBScript. Also, constants like wdPageBreak need to be explicitly declared in your script.
Since wdPageBreak is the default break type for InsertBreak(), you can just omit it completely. You may want to make sure you're truly at the end of your document, however. For that, you can use Selection.EndKey(), passing the value of wdStory. For example:
Const wdStory = 6
objWord.Selection.EndKey wdStory
objWord.Selection.InsertBreak ' No param needed here
My question involves the use of QTP / VBScript.
Goal: From the qtp main starting file, initialize an array of classes, and pass that array as a parameter to a re-usable action via a parameter.
Problem: I am not able to pass an array of classes to my re-usable action.
Details:
I have two files: “application_main” and “personal_action”.
application_main is the entry point into qtp/vbscript.
personal_action is a re-usable action
Inside application_main, we have a call to InvokeApplication, proceeded by a few other declarations.
I am able to initialize an array and proceed to pass it as a parameter from my application_main to my personal_action:
From application_main:
Dim myArray
myArray = new Array(object1, object2, object3)
RunAction “personal_action”, oneIteration, myInteger, myBoolean, myArray
On the personal_action page, I edit the parameter properties via:
Edit->Action->ActionProperties. I select the Parameters tab.
In it, I have the option to define the amount of incoming parameters and each individual type. These available types seem to be restricted to:
String, Boolean, Date, Number, Password, Any
I set my 1st parameter as: Number
I set my 2nd parameter as: Boolean
I set my 3rd parameter as: Any
Upon running, I am prompted with this:
The type you specified for the ‘myArray’ parameter in your RunAction
statement does not match the type defined in the action.
Question: I am able to pass the Number and Boolean fine, but when an array is involved, qtp/vbscript doesn't seem to handle it well. Why am I not able to pass an array to an action via parameters from the main startup file? This seems like a common and simple task. Could I be so wrong?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
As per my knowledge, QTP will NOT allow this. There is no parameter type that can be used to represent an Array. This might be a limitation of QuickTest Professional.
Rather than passing array you can pass the Array elements as a string separated with delimiters.
Example:
"Item1^Item2^............" where "^" is the delimiter
then you can use split function of vb script, to get your array back.
Again doing the same thing with object,we have to give try for this
use lib file in your action ...
Create array public in lib
but in end for any case test or interation vararray=null
rodrigonw.
Sugestion... use function for include your lib in your actions (lib path)

I am trying to check if the 'Listivew.Tag property is nothing'.
I used to do the 'Is Nothing' check universally for all scenarios as first check to avoid errors
Can someone explain how to do it in VB 6?
If Not .lvwLocation.Tag Is Nothing Then
'COMPANY
str = str & IIf(Len(.lvwLocation.Tag) > 0, " and u.location_id in " & .lvwLocation.Tag, "")
End If
Gives error 'type-mismatch'
Nothing is a valid value for Object variables, and Is is the way to compare object pointers.
But a VB6 control's Tag property is a String, and VB6's String type is not an Object; it's a primitive type. That means a String variable can't be assigned Nothing -- its emptiest possible value is the empty string. (And an Object variable can't be assigned a String value.) For strings just use the same equality/inequality/comparision operators that you use for other primitive (numeric/boolean/date) types:
If .lvwLocation.Tag <> "" Then ...
In VB6 it appears that using Is Nothing to compare Objects works, Every other data type that I tried did not. In .Net Nothing represents the default value of any data type and will work like you expect.
Dim test as Object
If Not test Is Nothing Then
/////
End If
Since it appears the data type of th Tag property in VB6 is a string. I would use something like:
If .lvwLocation.Tag <> "" Then
/////
End If
