Launch Method

Description

Opens the UFT One application as the logged-in Windows user.

Visual Basic
Public Sub Launch( _ ByVal OpenTemporaryTest As Boolean = False _ )

OpenTemporaryTest

Indicates whether to create a temporary test when you open UFT One application. Default=False.

Before launching UFT One for the first time in a script, you must create an application object using one of the following syntax options:

Dim app as QuickTest.Application
Set app = new QuickTest.Application

Set app = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")

For more information, see Application object.

Most automation statements can be performed only after the Launch method has been performed. Before launching the application, you can:

Check whether UFT One is already open (Application.Launched)
Check UFT One's current status--another method for finding out whether UFT One is already open (Application.GetStatus)
Return an Addins collection object, in which you can specify the add-ins you want to load (Application.Addins)
Retrieve associated add-ins (Application.GetAssociatedAddinsForTest)
Set the add-ins you want to load when UFT One starts (Application.SetActiveAddins)
Instruct UFT One whether to open in visible or minimized mode (Application.Visible)
Specify which view (Keyword View or Editor) to display when UFT One opens, if opening UFT One in Visible mode (Application.ActivateView)
Instruct UFT One to start and open a new, blank test or component (Application.New or Application.NewBusinessComponent)
Instruct UFT One to start and open a specified, existing test or component (Application.Open or Application.OpenBusinessComponent)
