Launch Method

Description

Opens the OpenText Functional Testing 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 the application. Default=False.

Before launching the application 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 the application is already open (Application.Launched)
Check the application's current status--another method for finding out whether the application 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 the application starts (Application.SetActiveAddins)
Specify whether to open the application in visible or minimized mode (Application.Visible)
Specify which view (Keyword View or Editor) to display when the application opens, if opening the application in Visible mode (Application.ActivateView)
Start the application and open a new, blank test or component (Application.New or Application.NewBusinessComponent)
Start the application and open a specified, existing test or component (Application.Open or Application.OpenBusinessComponent)
