DotNetFactory interface functions (1) – Create Button

Parent page: Service Functions – DotNetFactory (QTP, VBScript)

Creating .NET objects from VBScript/QTP

You can create a button and assign required properties within one line by calling the function below. The function has one mandatory parameter (which though is initialized by default if empty) and a set of optional parameters provided in the Dictionary object.

Currently supported optional parameters:

Button Width and Height.

Button Coordinates – Left, Top.

Note. You may code as many optional parameters as required. Just follow the established syntax and keep in mind that parameter index for Dictionary must be unique – otherwise it will overwrite the previous parameter.

Create Button

 Public Function CreateButton(ByVal sText, ByVal objParameter)
    Dim intLength
    Dim intWidth, intHeight
    Dim intLeft, intTop
    Dim objButton

  'Verify parameters
  If TypeName (objParameter) <>  "Dictionary" Then
   Set objParameter = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  End If

  If sText = "" Then sText = "Default"
  intLength = (Len(sText) + 4)*10
  
  intWidth = InitLong(objParameter.Item("p.width"), intLength)
  intHeight = InitLong(objParameter.Item("p.height"), 24)

  intLeft = IntVal(objParameter.Item("p.left"))
  intTop = IntVal(objParameter.Item("p.top"))

  Set objButton = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.Button", "System.Windows.Forms")
  objButton.Text = sText
  objButton.Width = intWidth
  objButton.Height = intHeight
  objButton.Left = intLeft
  objButton.Top = intTop

  Set CreateButton = objButton
 End Function

Example.

Set btnOK = CreateButton("OK", AssociateParameters("p.left = 90, p.top = 150"))
