How to use GETROProperty to extract value using descriptive programming in QTP

We can use descriptive programming to display the value stored for object e.g the value displayed in a edit box or a webelement or default value in a webList.

We can learn following key points from the code below:

• How to create a description object using description.create

• How to implement descriptive programming for object uniquely identified by using multiple properties

• How to use getROProperty to extract information at runtime

• How to return value by a function.

Public Function ValueDisplayedForObject(DescObj,ObjType)
On error resume next
Set objDesc= Description.create
'Set of Property value are delimited by ,
If (instr(1,DescObj,",") >0) Then
   ''Split multiple links based on delimiter. ,
arrDesc = split(DescObj,",")
intPropSet = Ubound(arrDesc)
''Loop through each of the link and click the required link
for i = 0 to intPropSet
'' Property and value for property are seperated by |
strDesc = split(arrDesc(i),"|")
objDesc(strDesc(0)).value = strDesc(1)
Next
''In case of only one property value set of image
Else
strDesc = split(DescObj,"|")
objDesc(strDesc(0)).value = strDesc(1)
End If
If (ucase(ObjType) = "WEBELEMENT")  Then
ValueDisplayedForObject = Browser("Browser_Encompass").Page("title:=.*").WebElement(objdesc).GetRoProperty("innertext")
ElseIf (ucase(ObjType) = "WEBLIST") Then
ValueDisplayedForObject = Browser("Browser_Encompass").Page("title:=.*").WebList(objdesc).GetRoProperty("value")
Else
ValueDisplayedForObject = Browser("Browser_Encompass").Page("title:=.*").WebEdit(objdesc).GetRoProperty("value")
End If
If (err.number<>0) Then
Reporter.ReportEvent micpass,"Value displayed for object",err.description
End If 
End Function.
