Go gaga over Machine Learning

From the last post about creating COM objects , here is another solution that can help you create AutoIt objects within QTP: Go to http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml and download the zip file. Extract the file and traverse to the Install -> AutoItX folder. Copy the AutoItX3.dll file to the following path Windows Drive:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. Now register the dll by typing "regsvr32 AutoItX3.dll" in the cmd and look for the message "Registration succeeded" Set oAutoIt = CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control") That's how easy it is to start using AutoIt from within QTP.

We often create automation objects and assign the object returned by CreateObject to an object variable. Once the object is created we access properties and methods of the new object using the object variable. There are times that we don't know what are the objects that can be accessed using the CreateObject method.   Though there is no list which can tell us all the objects that can be accessed as it depends on the COM Objects with IDispatch interface registered on your computer. To find available objects, the simplest way is to look at the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT hive in the registry: Here is a list that might help as a quick reference: Syntax: CreateObject(Class) here a class would be Servername.typename Servername would be the application providing the object and typename would be the type or the class of the object created. Set objEmail = CreateObject( "CDO.Message" ) Set objIE = CreateObject( "InternetExplorer.Application" ) Set objInet = Crea

If you use QTP for automating .NET apps and the app is built using infragistics, you know that it is not easy to use the .NET spy . After a lot of effort I was able to find solution to perform operations on a infragistics toolbar where the swftoobar object was getting identified as a swfobject: Here is the code how to work with .net toolbarsmanager: set cToolbars = SwfWindow("").SwfObject("").Object.ToolbarsManager.Toolbars Set oMyTool = GetToolFromToolbar(cToolbars,"", "") omyTool. 'Operation you want Function GetToolFromToolbar(byref cToolbars, sToolbarKey, sToolKey)    Dim oToolbar ' Toolbar object    Dim bToolbarFound    Dim bToolFound    bToolbarFound = false    bToolFound = false    For x = 0 to cToolbars.Count - 1       If sToolbarKey = cToolbars.GetItem(x).Key Then           set oToolbar = cToolbars.GetItem(x)           bToolbarFound = true           Exit for       End If    Next    If bToolbarFound = true
