QTP对象的一些隐藏的属性和方法

上一篇 / 下一篇  2014-03-11 15:19:12 / 个人分类:QTP

I’ve been doing some digging into QTP’s test-objects, hoping to find some undocumented methods and techniques. Armed with the power ofPDM.DLL, I’ve explored each test object, and have come up with these interesting results, all of which don’t show up on your regular intellisense autocomplete.

As this is still a work in process, the function of many methods is still unclear. I’ve set up a color coding system to make things more clear –Red= Don’t have a clue. Black = Have a pretty good idea / an educated guess.Green= Presumably know exactly what the method is supposed to do.

If any of you know the purpose and function of these methods, please fill me in by dropping a comment, and I’ll update the article.

Update: mayno224has informed us that a Java object MethodWizard method will open a window with all the object’s internal methods (similar to the .Net form’s spy).

All Objects

All QTP test objects have these five methods in common:

1.Highlight– Highlights the object, much like the highlight feature in the object-repository.

2.QueryValue(Property, PropertyData),GetProperty(Property, pFlags, pType, pParameterName) andSetProperty(Property, Value, pFlags, pType, pParameterName)– I haven’t been able to figure out what these method do. If any of you manage to crack this up, I would appreciate it if you dropped a comment.

3.ToString– Returns a string representation of the object. Usually it’s just the name.

4.InitAs describedhere, re-links the test-object to the runtime object. Especially useful in a web environment, after a page refresh.

Web

All Objects:

Method

Description

.MakeObjVisibleScrolls the object into view (if needed). Similar to the documented .MakeVisible method for ActiveX objects

Browser:

Method

Description

.AddCookie(Domain, Cookies)
.GetCookies(Url, Cookies)
Probably syntactically sets / gets cookie data.
.RefreshWebSupportPerhaps the underlying method behind the visible .Refresh method?
.SubmitForm(bstrUrl, bstrTargetFrame, bstrPostData, bstrHeaders)Submit forms “hardcore” style.

Page:

Method

Description

.RefreshObjectsProbably performs .Init on all its childobjects.
.StartTransaction(Name)
.EndTransaction(Name, Status)
.SetTransactionStatus(Status)
Don’t have a clue.
.SaveLayout(pDoc)
.RestoreLayout(elemTag, elemID, propName, propValue)
Presumably saves/restores the visible layout of the page.

All other web objects (WebElement, WebList, WebButton, etc.):

Method

Description

.SubmitPresumably submits a form, if activated on the relevant object
.MouseOverSimilar to firing the OnMouseOver event.

Standard Windows

All Objects:

Method

Description

ClickOnText(TextToFind, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, MatchWholeWordOnly, BUTTON, DoubleClick)Extremely useful method! A merge between .GetTextLocation and .Click: It finds the specified text within the object, and clicksAll the parameters are self-explanatory. BUTTON is the button code (look under the click method in QTP help); and DoubleClick is boolean.

WinEdit:

Method

Description

.SetTextSeems to be exactly like the regular .Set method. However, Neither function uses the other (checked with RegisterUserFunc)

WinButton:

Method

Description

.PressSeems to be exactly like the regular .Click method. However, Neither function uses the other (checked with RegisterUserFunc)

WinMenu:

Method

Description

.PrepareMenu(phSubMenu, peMenuObjectType)Perhaps has something to do with loading the sub-menu items for a given menu option.

.Net (SWF objects)

All Objects:

Method

Description

ClickOnText(TextToFind, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, MatchWholeWordOnly, BUTTON, DoubleClick)Same as in Standard Windows.
SpyLaunches the .Net form. spy for the relevant object. Perfect for objects you cannot get your mouse to point to.
CreateManagedObject(bsType, bsFile, pVal)Have no idea.

SwfTable:

Method

Description

GetCellCoord(Row, Column, X, Y)Probably the underlying method behind ClickCell. Should return the cell coordinates though the ByRef X,Y variables, but keeps spitting out an error (Perhaps the variables have to be cased into long integers?).

SwfButton:

Method

Description

.PressSeems to be exactly like the regular .Click method. However, Neither function uses the other (checked with RegisterUserFuc)

.Java

All Objects:

Method

Description

InvokeMethod(MethodName, MethodArguments)My guess is it calls an inner method of the object.
MethodWizard()Thanks to Mayno224: Will present a screen with all the object’s internal methods. Kinda similar to .Net objects Spy.
RequestFocus()Presumably brings the object into focus.
ClickOnText(TextToFind, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, MatchWholeWordOnly, BUTTON, DoubleClick)Same as in Standard Windows.

Other environments and updates will be published when I’ve completed my investigation, and when reads will drop in more information through comments.
