CustomServerBase Class
Mercury.QTP.CustomServer Namespace : CustomServerBase Class
The base class for the .NET custom support server class.
Object Model
CustomServerBase Class
Remarks

Your custom server extends CustomServerBase and implements your replay interface.

                public class MyAppSrv:
                       CustomServerBase,
                       IMyAppSrvReplay

CustomServerBase exports utility methods. These utility methods are divided into the General and Remote access categories.

General utilities include recording a method in UFT, accessing the settings, and writing to the test results.

Remote access services are accessible only to custom servers running in the UFT context. They are used to access properties and methods on the .NET control and create remote objects that run in the AUT context.

A custom server must implement the following methods in the derived class:

  • InitEventListener
  • ReleaseEventListener
