What is .Childobjects in QTP?

GUI controls or objects are always located in container objects.Okay lets have a real life example:

Suppose you have kept your laptop on your bedroom,so in this case, your home is your parent object,your laptop is a child object and your bedroom is again a parent object of laptop.Home>>Bedroom>>Laptop

Browser[parent]

Page[child of browser and parent of text box]

Textbox[child]

Similarly,

Scenario 1.Between Browser and Page:Browser is a parent object and page is  a child object

ex 1.Find the background color of the page?

Result=Browser(“micclass:=browser”).childobject(“bgcolor”)

Msgbox result  [Please do not try this ,as this will not run,just showing example]

Scenario 2.Between browser,page and checkbox

ex 1.Check(Tick) all the checkboxes present on the page?

Set oDesc=Description.Create()

oDesc.(“micclass”).value=”WebCheckBox”

Set count= Browser(“micclass:=browser”).page(“micclass:=page”).childobject(oDesc)

for i=0 to count-1

Browser(“micclass:=browser”).page(“micclass:=page”).WebCheckBox(count(i)).set “ON”

Next

Hence ,Webedit box is a child object of the Page object, which is in turn is a child object of the Browser object.

Hope it’s is clear as of now…
