When message box is not sufficient!!

Image
There are instances when we want to output a large amount of text and we can see just the truncated version in a msgbox. Here is a quick function that can be reused: Sub Debug2(myText)   ' Uncomment the next line to turn off debugging   ' Exit Sub   If Not IsObject(objIEDebugWindow) Then     Set objIEDebugWindow = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")     objIEDebugWindow.Navigate "about:blank"     objIEDebugWindow.Visible = True     objIEDebugWindow.Toolbar = False     objIEDebugWindow.Width = 200     objIEDebugWindow.Height = 300     objIEDebugWindow.Left = 10     objIEDebugWindow.Top = 10     Do While objIEDebugWindow.Busy       WScript.Sleep 100     Loop     objIEDebugWindow.Document.Title = "IE Debug Window"     objIEDebugWindow.Document.Body.InnerHTML = _                  " " & Now & " "   End If   objIEDebugWindow.Document.Body.InnerHTML = _                    objIEDebugWindow.Docu

Add a Delay without using sleep / wait

Lets see a simple code snippet that will add some delay without using the native wait or sleep methods while coding using VBs/QTP/QC Sub Delay( seconds )     Dim wshShell     Set wshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" )     wshShell.Run "ping -n " & ( seconds + 1 ) & " 127.0.0.1", 0, True     Set wshShell = Nothing End Sub Happy Coding!

Signs That You’re Dating A Tester

Your love letters get returned to you marked up with red ink, highlighting your grammar and spelling mistakes .   When you tell him that you won’t change something he has asked you to change, he’ll offer to allow you two other flaws in exchange for correcting this one.   When you ask him how you look in a dress, he’ll actually tell you.   When you give him the “It’s not you, it’s me” breakup line, he’ll agree with you and give the specifics.   He won’t help you change a broken light bulb because his job is simply to report and not to fix. He’ll keep bringing up old problems that you’ve since resolved just to make sure that they’re truly gone.
