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

Creating .NET objects from VBScript/QTP

You can create a label 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:

Label Width and Height.

Label 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 Label

 Public Function CreateLabel(ByVal sText, ByVal objParameter)
 Dim intLength
 Dim intWidth, intHeight
 Dim intLeft, intTop
 Dim objLabel
 '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"), 20)
 intLeft = IntVal(objParameter.Item("p.left"))
 intTop = IntVal(objParameter.Item("p.top"))
 Set objLabel = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.Label", "System.Windows.Forms")
 objLabel.Text = sText
 objLabel.Width = intWidth
 objLabel.Height = intHeight
 objLabel.Left = intLeft
 objLabel.Top = intTop
 Set CreateLabel = objLabel
 End Function

Example

Set objPromptLabel = CreateLabel("Please provide your Username and Password", AssociateParameters("p.left = 10, p.top = 15, p.width = 200, p.height = 25"))
