Max Sch had recently brought to our attention the existence of a free, external .Net object spy, which is far superior to QTP’s internal object spy, and .Net object spy. This new object spy is called Runtime Object Editor, and is downloadable from here (Courtesy of The Code Project). Update: there’s a more advanced version

Background One of the more frustrating aspects of automating any complex application is knowing that the application holds a lot useful information which isn’t accessible to QTP. Sometimes accessing the information is just not possible by any means (for example, accessing runtime properties from MFC applications), but other times, it seems to be just a

Using common VBScript is impossible to append on array to another. It is possible using the System.Collections.ArrayList object. The AppendRange method adds the elements of an array to the end of the ArrayList.

Reminder Last time we implemented a tab navigation function for our custom control. We saw how to use the object-spy to locate “interesting” RO properties and methods, and how to switch to debug view to drill even deeper into the inner control structure.

Whether you’re using your own reporting framework, or QTP’s native reporter, your report is probably filled with a lot of full-desktop screen-captures, which are supposed to make the report more comprehensible, but usually just confuse the average reader. An effective screen-capture should highlight the relevant area in the application, and not leave the reader with

You can access some .NET classes from script directly, with one preparatory step on a system where you want to do it. Here’s why and how. Basically a .NET class which is scriptable is one which is COM-accessible. You can write one yourself; you need to make sure that it is public, that it returns

The Capacity property gets or sets the number of elements that the ArrayList can contain. The Count property gets the number of elements actually contained in the ArrayList.
