Thank you Anshoo.
Lets say i like to click on a number through QTP on calc. In that case how QTP would know the window Id of that during run time?

To identify each button, do i need to get the window_id’s of all buttons?. Later how i can approach.
Could you explain me with some more clarity.

Ramesh: You can map each control to its window_id. It seems to be unique..

Ramesh, Win7 calculator may be more suitable with OR.. your observation is correct – there are no properties associated with any controls.

Dim oDesc ‘Description Object
Dim colObject ‘object collection
Set oDesc = Description.Create
oDesc(“micclass”).value=”WinButton”

Hi Anshoo,

Its a very nice learning.

Do you have any article which focus on VC++ applications as an example.
Or any other scripting examples on windows applications other than inbuilt flight reservation application

Regards,
Manu

Prachi: If you’re testing this scenario in an Remote Desktop session, open the session and run the test. Do not minimize the window or close it and see if it works?

Hi Anshoo,

I have used this approach to open notepad and it was working fine earlier :
Window(“Window”).WinButton(“start”).Click
Window(“Window”).Type(“R”)
Dialog(“Run”).WinEdit(“Open:”).Type “notepad”

Now when I run the same code ,in local it works .But fails in server machine with error:

Cannot find the “Open:” object’s parent “Run” (class Dialog). Verify that parent properties match an object currently displayed in your application.

Line (33): “Dialog(“Run”).WinEdit(“Open:”).Type “notepad”".

The dialog is in OR,and it works in local machine.Do you see any familiar server issue here .I have tried with adding the dialog again.
But the problem seems here with Type command not working on Window(“Window”).
