Hi Saurabh,

QTP does not identify the Microsoft outlook as is. If you can specify what are the action that you want to perform using QTP, then VB Script can be one of the approaches to accomplish the task.

Hi Saurab,

This may not be a good way of scripting using QTP, but there are somethings where QTP becomes helpless, in that case we try to use some kind of shortcut.
What are the steps that i can think of in this scenario is :

1) Activate the Microsoft Outlook.
2) Use WshShell.SendKeys to activate the Menu items (CourtCalendarPro). Does it support alt keys ?
Check if there Alt+c activates the menu item.
3) The use the Enter using WshShell.SendKeys to expand the menu.
4) Use down arrow 3 times to reach the seach option, click on enter.

Hope this solves the issue :-)

Hi Guys,

I have similar kind of problem and I am struggling to get over it.

We have Web application and it is integrated with MS Office.

So when you open e.g. Word you will see dedicated buttons for our application.

Now when I try to record and click event on the Word addons, QTP recognizes whole toolbar as one object with name "Window("Microsoft Word").WinObject("NetUIHWND").Click 150,80"

I want to identify the word addon with qtp and should be able to click on it, irrespective of coordinates.

Looking forward to solution from this forum.
