Create new method

Question

I'm working with HP UFT. This tool use VBScript to automatics test. Is it possible to create new method in function library. I mean something like this.

Browser("Browser").Page("Page").WebEdit("login").MyMethod()

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Go to the Design menu, and select Function Definition Generator... You'll get the following UI

Basically this is a helper for RegisterUserFunc.

By selecting the Register to a test object check-box (and which type of test object) the function you add will be available as a regular test object function.

Note that you can override an existing function, for example you can change Set to see if the value is "~today~" add today's date.

Answer 2

Adding User Defined Functions is actually pretty easy: define the function, decide on the object type you wish to add the function to, and use RegisterUserFunc to put it all together:

Function BrokenImage(ImageObject)
BrokenImage = True
ImageObject.WaitProperty "visible", True, 1000
ImageLoaded = False
StartTime = Now()
Do
    If ImageObject.Object.naturalHeight > 0 And ImageObject.Object.naturalHeight > 0 Then
        BrokenImage = False
        Exit Do 
    End If
    If DateDiff("s", StartTime, Now()) > 10 Then Exit Do
Loop While ImageLoaded = False
End Function 

RegisterUserFunc "Image", "BrokenImage", "BrokenImage"

Once you've got the function defined, you call it as you would any other object method:

If Browser().Page().Image().ImageBroken() = true Then Print "Broken Image"

You can also add additional parameters which will then be passed to the new method.
