QTP Utility Functions – keyboard
Values

October 15, 2008 26

QTP Utility Functions – Mouse Click
Events
• Solution: Use the custom user-defined sub RightMenuSelect
• NOTE:
• This function/sub is not part of Astra QuickTest/QuickTest Professional. It is not
guaranteed to work and is not supported by Mercury Interactive Technical Support. You
are responsible for any and all modifications that may be required.

• The RightMenuSelect function selects the menu item at index "idx" from the pop-up
menu that appears when right-clicking on an object.

• Sub RightMenuSelect (menu, idx)

• Set obj = CreateObject("Mercury.DeviceReplay")
• Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
• menu.MakeObjVisible
• x = menu.QueryValue("abs_x")
• y = menu.QueryValue("abs_y")
• obj.MouseClick x+5, y+5, 2
• For i = 1 To idx
• WshShell.sendKeys "{DOWN}"
• Next
• WshShell.sendKeys "{ENTER}"
• set WshShell = nothing
• Set obj = nothing
• End Sub
October 15, 2008 27
QTP Utility Functions – Mouse Click
Events

• Device Replay object to perform a right click

operation on any object by retrieving the
coordinates of the object.
•  
• Sub RightClickObj(Obj, Offset_x, Offset_y)

•  x_coord = Obj.GetROProperty("abs_x")
•  y_coord = Obj.GetROProperty("abs_y")
•  Set dr = CreateObject("Mercury.DeviceReplay")
•  dr.MouseClick x_coord + Offset_x, y_coord +
