Hi,

i tried same but it is just displaying one editbox to the user. Actually my requirement was to diaply the 4 checkboxes to the User.

I am not pretty sure if you can do that using Vbscript. The easiest would be to create a user form using Excel.

The other way which i may workaround would be researching on DotNetFactory.

Hi Ramesh,
There can be various way of doing this, as suggested by basanth using excel form and through 'hta' using vbscript.
we can do this easily using QTP dotnetfactory.

try this and let me know if it works

Code:

Set oDForm = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.Form", "System.Windows.Forms") Set oOpt1 = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox", "System.Windows.Forms") Set oOpt2 = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox", "System.Windows.Forms") Set oGroupBox = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox", "System.Windows.Forms") Set oButton = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.Button", "System.Windows.Forms") x=10 y=10 Set Pos = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Drawing.Point","System.Drawing",x,y) '‘This will provide the locations(X,Y) for the controls oOpt1.Text="Option1" oGroupBox.Location=Pos Pos.Y=30 oOpt1.Location=Pos Pos.Y=CInt(oOpt1.Height)+CInt(oOpt1.Top)+10 oOpt2.Location=Pos oOpt2.Text="Option2" oGroupBox.Text="Select Option" oGroupBox.Controls.Add(oOpt1) oGroupBox.Controls.Add(oOpt2) oButton.Text="OK" Pos.X=60 Pos.Y=CInt(oGroupBox.Height)+20 oButton.Location=Pos oDForm.CancelButton=oButton oDForm.Controls.Add(oGroupBox) oDForm.Controls.Add(oButton) oDForm.StartPosition=CenterScreen oDForm.Text="Option Dialog QTP" oDForm.width = 250 oDForm.height = 190 oDForm.ShowDialog If oOpt1.Checked Then msgbox "You have selected Option 1" elseif oOpt2.Checked Then msgbox "You have selected Option 2" else msgbox "No Option selected" End If

hi saket
I got ur code
but when i close the Form then i am able to fetch the checkbox values

but i dont wont to use cross button of the form ; however i should be able to fetch the checkbox value on clicking OK/somebutton and my form should not be there anymore in frontend if i click OK

[basanth27]

I see that the form dissapears when clicked on Ok. Are you by any chance specifying the message box ?

hey, Have you tried running this code? this works exactly as you need.
please go through the code again,you willl find the code for OK button is already there and t is working exactly as you need

Code:

oButton.Text="OK" Pos.X=60 Pos.Y=CInt(oGroupBox.Height)+20 oButton.Location=Pos oDForm.CancelButton=oButton oDForm.Controls.Add(oGroupBox) oDForm.Controls.Add(oButton)

In case the button is not visible then try resizing the form or remove following statements

Code:

oDForm.width = 250 oDForm.height = 190
