I want to get textbox's object ID which is dynamic
Application is windows application developed in c#.net
how to record and get object ID using QTP??
There is no straight answer to your question unless one personally analyzes the scenario, however below are some solutions which may be applicable.
Try to identify any unique property of the object other than one, which qtp recognizes while recording and do descriptive programming. (In your case if object ID is a number then go for some text describing the textbox).
If this is not possible do descriptive programming with regular expression matching all the property value that the object have.
Thanks
identify unique property of the object, which qtp recognizes while recording and do programming.If not possible do with regular expression matching all the property of the object.
Option 1: Reconfigure your object identification configuration so QTP uses different identification properties (see documentation).
Option 2: Use descriptive programming to address the control using an appropriate (unique) combination of attributes (see documentation).
Use option 1 if the control type always needs nonstandard handling in terms of identification. Use option 2 for exceptions.

I keep seeing code like this:
.WebButton("locator1", "locator2", "locator3")
What is the type of arguments in WebButton, WebElement, WebEdit etc ? I tried passing an array to .WebButton. So, qtp told me its not the correct type. Is there an alternate way to pass multiple locators ?
Also, what is the return type of .WebButton, .WebElement etc. ?
The "arguments" which you are talking about are the set of properties which are needed by QTP/UFT to identify that particular object(WebElement, WebEdit etc.) uniquely so that one can perform actions on them.
Also, this is not some sort of a function that is going to return you any value.
If you are not sure about what properties you need to mention in those brackets, an easier way would be to add that object to the Object Repository and drag that object from OR to your script. After that you can perform any action on those objects.
If you do not want to use OR, then you need to make use of, what we call, Descriptive Programming(DP) wherein you have to mention the object property names and their values "explicitly" in the script.
Remember that the sole purpose of mentioning these properties is to help QTP identify the objects in your application so that you can perform actions on them(like click, set etc.)

EDIT 2 - for answering your question in the comment:
.WebButton("Locator1","Locator2","Locator3") means .webButton("property1:=value1","property2:=value2","property3:=value3")
Now, I could have only mentioned property-value pair1(which you are referring to as "Locator1") only If it alone was sufficient for identifying that webbutton. If only 1 property-value pair cannot help UFT in UNIQUELY recognizing the webbutton, then I have to provide another property-value pair until I have provided enough of them so that QTP recognizes that webbutton uniquely. Since, I have provided multiple property-value pairs(or locators), they have to be separated by commas. If there was only one property-value pair, no comma is needed. All this explanation only applies to the case when we are using Descriptive Programming. If we are not using Descriptive programming, then in that case the objects and their properties&values are stored in the Object Repository and you just have to mention their logical names(say Button1 as stored in OR) in the script like:
.webButon("Button1")
To understand more, you need to do some more research on "How object Identification works in UFT/QTP"
I was trying to use Insight feature of UFT to avoid using the build configuration of libraries from development side for a flex based application. When i tried using the method "GetVisibleText" UFT 12.01 returns "The system cannot find the file specified". But i was click on different buttons in the same page Example buttton x, Button y at my wish. So it means UFT is distinguishes the objects. My purpose is to check on the dynamic text objects in the page. Note : "GetRoProperty" returned nothing and there is only one property called "similarity" and its returning a constant value at all the times immaterial of different pages.
UFT's Insight technology uses images in order to identify objects, the fact that it identifies button x does not mean that it has any intrinsic understanding that it contains the text "x".
In Insight the similarity property is used in order to decide how dissimilar a control has to be from the captured image in order for it not to constitute a match. Similarity isn't a regular identification property as we are used to. This is why you get the same value for each test object (it doesn't mean that the specific object supports this property).
Regarding GetVisibleText, UFT uses OCR in order to extract the text. You can specify which language you're expecting in the last parameter.
In any case none of these things should fail due to not being able to find a file. I have two thoughts on the matter:
Are you using descriptive programming to identify the InsightObject (see link further on) if so perhaps the image file you specified isn't found?
What OCR Mechanism are you using? (Tools ⇒ Options ⇒ GUI Testing ⇒ Text Recognition), perhaps the mechanism you're using isn't installed correctly and this is causing the failure, try using a different OCR mechanism.
You can read a bit more about Insight here.
Seems like once you set the Testers field on a Test Case in MTM, it will not allow you to clear it. You are only allowed to change it to a different value. Has anyone found a way to clear this field?
It is important to not get the "Assigned" Tester field confused with the Assigned To field. They are distinct fields on a Test Case work item. One reason why someone might want the Tester field to be blank is if a team all pitches in to help with testing during an iteration and leaving the assigned tester blank allows the team to know that no one has "picked up" this test to execute. The team member could then assign the test to his or herself and execute it.
The template pulls the Assigned Tester Values from a list using the 'AllowedValues' tag. Instead, simply change this to 'SuggestedValues'. That will allow for empty values - easy as that.
If you'd rather not allow free entry, you can also add a default value such as 'None' and use that rather than blank.
Unless you've customized your work item type, this field should never be blank after being saved. It defaults to the person who created the bug in all Microsoft supported process templates, and a value is required by default.
That being said, why would you want to change it to blank?
If you really, really want to be able to blank it out (which I don't think is a good idea at all), you'll need to customize your template. See the below guidance:

I Have two objects in same page but with different locations(tabs), I want to verify those objects each a part ...
i cant uniquely any of objects because the have same properties.
These objects clearly are unique to a point because they have completely different text, this means that you will be able to create an object to match only one of them. My suggestion would be to look for the object by using its text property, one of them will always have "Top Ranking" the other you wil need to turn into a regular expression for the text and will be something "Participants (\d+)".
I am assuming that this next answer is unlikely to be possible so saved it for after the answer you are likely to use but the best solution would of course be to get someone with access to give these elements ids for you to search for. This will in the long term be much easier for you to maintain and not using text will allow this test to run in any language.
Manaysah, do these objects have different indexes? Use the object spy and determine which index they have, the ordinal identifier index may be a solution to your problem. You could also try adding an innertext object property if possible, using a wildcard for the number inside the () as it appears dynamic.
try using xpath for the objects...xpath will definitely be different
I made a report with about 30 different rectangles and textboxes that have different visibility expressions depending on the parameters. (It's a student invoice and many different messages have to appear depending on the semester) When I made all the expressions I coded in the parameters in all upper case. Now I have a problem when users enter lowercase letters, the SQL all works fine since it is not case sensitive, but the different rectangles and textboxes don't show. Is there a way in the report code to first capitalize all the parameters before running the SQL? Or do I actually have to go back to every visibility expression and add separate iif's for upper and lower case? (That seems incredibly silly to have to do). I can't change my parameters to numbers because I have been given strict requirements for input. Thanks.
I do not know if this is the most elegant solution, but you could accomplish this by following this procedure for every parameter on the Report Parameters page:
1)Re-name the parameter, leaving its prompt as that of the old parameter.
2)Add a new parameter with the same name as the old parameter.
3)Mark this new parameter as Hidden.
4)Make sure that the new parameter's available values are marked as non-queried(available values will never be actually used.)
5)Mark the Default Values as Non-queried, using the following syntax:
=ucase(Parameters!OldParameterName.Value)
Can't you just UCASE the params (do it in the xml view, it will be quicker and you might even be able to do a regex find/replace)
