ObjectsObjects
Objects are GUI entities qualified Objects are GUI entities qualified with some properties data and the with some properties data and the methods necessary to operate on methods necessary to operate on that datathat dataProperty describes the object Property describes the object defined which differentiates the defined which differentiates the given object with other objectsgiven object with other objectsMethods are functions required in Methods are functions required in order to manipulate the object order to manipulate the object propertiesproperties
ObjectsObjects
Example Example A Button is said to be A Button is said to be an object which consists of an object which consists of properties such as lsquoEnabledrsquo properties such as lsquoEnabledrsquo lsquoSizersquo and methods such as lsquoSizersquo and methods such as lsquoonClickrsquo lsquoOnFocusrsquo etclsquoonClickrsquo lsquoOnFocusrsquo etc
ObjectsObjects
Properties - These are Properties - These are characteristics of the object eg characteristics of the object eg the text on a button QTP uses the text on a button QTP uses this to recognize the objectthis to recognize the object
ObjectsObjects
Methods - These are built in Methods - These are built in functionality of the object The functionality of the object The VBScript code that we write (or VBScript code that we write (or record) actually makes calls to the record) actually makes calls to the methods of an object eg methods of an object eg ReporterReportEvent() Here ReporterReportEvent() Here ReportEvent is the method of the ReportEvent is the method of the Reporter objectReporter object
ObjectsObjects
Events - These are what can Events - These are what can be done to an object This is be done to an object This is used by programmers to used by programmers to determine what an object does determine what an object does in response to an action you in response to an action you perform It is however unused perform It is however unused in QTP in QTP

Objects are GUI entities qualified Objects are GUI entities qualified with some properties data and the with some properties data and the methods necessary to operate on methods necessary to operate on that datathat dataProperty describes the object Property describes the object defined which differentiates the defined which differentiates the given object with other objectsgiven object with other objectsMethods are functions required in Methods are functions required in order to manipulate the object order to manipulate the object propertiesproperties
ObjectsObjects
Example Example A Button is said to be A Button is said to be an object which consists of an object which consists of properties such as lsquoEnabledrsquo properties such as lsquoEnabledrsquo lsquoSizersquo and methods such as lsquoSizersquo and methods such as lsquoonClickrsquo lsquoOnFocusrsquo etclsquoonClickrsquo lsquoOnFocusrsquo etc
ObjectsObjects
Properties - These are Properties - These are characteristics of the object eg characteristics of the object eg the text on a button QTP uses the text on a button QTP uses this to recognize the objectthis to recognize the object
ObjectsObjects
Methods - These are built in Methods - These are built in functionality of the object The functionality of the object The VBScript code that we write (or VBScript code that we write (or record) actually makes calls to the record) actually makes calls to the methods of an object eg methods of an object eg ReporterReportEvent() Here ReporterReportEvent() Here ReportEvent is the method of the ReportEvent is the method of the Reporter objectReporter object

Objects are GUI entities qualified Objects are GUI entities qualified with some properties data and the with some properties data and the methods necessary to operate on methods necessary to operate on that datathat dataProperty describes the object Property describes the object defined which differentiates the defined which differentiates the given object with other objectsgiven object with other objectsMethods are functions required in Methods are functions required in order to manipulate the object order to manipulate the object propertiesproperties
ObjectsObjects
Example Example A Button is said to be A Button is said to be an object which consists of an object which consists of properties such as lsquoEnabledrsquo properties such as lsquoEnabledrsquo lsquoSizersquo and methods such as lsquoSizersquo and methods such as lsquoonClickrsquo lsquoOnFocusrsquo etclsquoonClickrsquo lsquoOnFocusrsquo etc
ObjectsObjects
Properties - These are Properties - These are characteristics of the object eg characteristics of the object eg the text on a button QTP uses the text on a button QTP uses this to recognize the objectthis to recognize the object
ObjectsObjects
Methods - These are built in Methods - These are built in functionality of the object The functionality of the object The VBScript code that we write (or VBScript code that we write (or record) actually makes calls to the record) actually makes calls to the methods of an object eg methods of an object eg ReporterReportEvent() Here ReporterReportEvent() Here ReportEvent is the method of the ReportEvent is the method of the Reporter objectReporter object
ObjectsObjects
Events - These are what can Events - These are what can be done to an object This is be done to an object This is used by programmers to used by programmers to determine what an object does determine what an object does in response to an action you in response to an action you perform It is however unused perform It is however unused in QTP in QTP
