Event Manager
In traditional test automation, if an unexpected message box came up, such as a printer error message, the script would either halt, or it would have to contain numerous checks at different places in case such a window came up. Some testing tools allow you to set “traps” that will respond to simple message boxes by specifying the message box and the button to click, but if your tool lacks that, or if it’s more complex to deal with the dialog than simply pressing a dismiss button, then the script will be unable to respond to it, and the test will fail for reasons completely unrelated to the test.

Class Inheritance in VBScript – Now at your Doorstep!
ChangeLog: 5/10 : I’ve uploaded a new file with the fixed parser. Added support for code blocks with sensitive names (Function PrivateFunciton, Sub SpecialGet etc.) 10/10 : I’ve uploaded a new file with constructor arguments support, and a new regular expression engine (preserves comments and should make things go faster).

Attributes String from File
file attributes are like switches. If the switch for Hidden is on, the file is a hidden file. If the switch for Hidden is off, the file is not a hidden file. This analogy can be carried further by noting that light switches are typically under your control: you can choose to turn them on, …
