最近Yaron Assa发表了一篇文章，给我们共享了他发现的关于QTP的一些秘密方法：

http://www.advancedqtp.com/community/blogs/yaron-assas-blog144/secret-methods-of-qtp-objects/

 其中有一些方法是对于所有测试对象都适用的，例如：

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) and SetProperty(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. Init - As described here, re-links the test-object to the runtime object. Especially useful in a web environment, after a page refresh.

另外一些则对于个别测试对象适用：

Web

All Objects:

Method	Description
.MakeObjVisible	Scrolls 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.
.RefreshWebSupport	Perhaps the underlying method behind the visible .Refresh method?
.SubmitForm(bstrUrl, bstrTargetFrame, bstrPostData, bstrHeaders)	Submit forms “hardcore” style.

 

Page:

Method	Description
.RefreshObjects	Probably 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
.Submit	Presumably submits a form, if activated on the relevant object
.MouseOver	Similar 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 clicks   All 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
.SetText	Seems to be exactly like the regular .Set method. However, Neither function uses the other (checked with RegisterUserFunc)

 

WinButton:

Method	Description
.Press	Seems 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.
Spy	Launches 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
.Press	Seems 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.
