Excel Sorting(Ascending , Descending) By Rows and Columns

Excel Sorting By Row:

Const xlAscending = 1
Const xlNo = 2
Const xlSortRows = 2

Set objExcel = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)
objExcel.Visible = True

Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(“C:Documents and Settingsmohan.kakarlaDesktopDocs1.xls”)
Set objWorksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
objWorksheet.Cells(1,1).activate

Set objRange = objExcel.ActiveCell.EntireRow
objRange.Sort objRange, xlAscending, , , , , , xlNo, , , xlSortRows
set objExcel=nothing

Excel Sorting By Colum :

Const xlAscending = 1′represents the sorting type 1 for Ascending 2 for Desc
Const xlYes = 1

Set objExcel = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)’Create the excel object
objExcel.Visible = True’Make excel visible
Set objWorkbook = _
objExcel.Workbooks.Open(“C:\Documents and Settings\mohan.kakarla\Desktop\Docs1.xls”)’Open the

document

Set objWorksheet = objWorkbook.Worksheets(1)’select the sheet based on the index .. 1,2 ,3 …
Set objRange = objWorksheet.UsedRange’which select the range of the cells has some data other than blank
Set objRange2 = objExcel.Range(“A1″)’ select the column to sort

objRange.Sort objRange2, xlAscending, , , , , , xlYes

Uninstall a software using vbscript , QTP

This works for uninstalling most applications. In this example I will show how AutoCAD 2005 can be uninstalled using a VBScript. Open Regedit and look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall search for the application and find a the product code that is in GUID format looking like this: {5783F2D7-0301-0409-0002-0060B0CE6BBA} It might be something else for you. The code below will uninstall AutoCAD 2005 as well as Express Tools. Copy the code below into Notepad and give the file the extension vbs.on error resume next
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Uninstall Express Tools
WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {5783F2D7-0311-0409-0000-0060B0CE6BBA} /q",1,true

Prompt for password entry and hide while it is being typed

some times we need to prompt input box for a password and we need to  hide a password while it is being typed.
 But it is not possible with normal VBScript . we can use the AOM for IE with VBScript to do this.

Following is the code

strPw = GetPassword( “Please enter your password:” )
msgbox  “Your password is: ” & strPw

Function GetPassword( myPrompt )
‘ This function uses Internet Explorer to
‘ create a dialog and prompt for a password.

    Dim objIE
    ‘ Create an IE object
    Set objIE = CreateObject( “InternetExplorer.Application” )
    ‘ specify  the IE  settings
    objIE.Navigate “about:blank”
    objIE.Document.Title = “Password”
    objIE.ToolBar        = False
    objIE.Resizable      = False
    objIE.StatusBar      = False
    objIE.Width          = 300
    objIE.Height         = 180
    ‘ Center the dialog window on the screen
    With objIE.Document.ParentWindow.Screen
        objIE.Left = (.AvailWidth  – objIE.Width ) \ 2
        objIE.Top  = (.Availheight – objIE.Height) \ 2
    End With
  
    ‘ Insert the HTML code to prompt for a password
    objIE.Document.Body.InnerHTML = “<DIV align=”"center”"><P>” & myPrompt _
                                  & “</P>” & vbCrLf _
                                  & “<P><INPUT TYPE=”"password”" SIZE=”"20″” ” _
                                  & “ID=”"Password”"></P>” & vbCrLf _
                                  & “<P><INPUT TYPE=”"hidden”" ID=”"OK”" ” _
                                  & “NAME=”"OK”" VALUE=”"0″”>” _
                                  & “<INPUT TYPE=”"submit”" VALUE=”" OK “” ” _
                                  & “OnClick=”"VBScript:OK.Value=1″”></P></DIV>”
    ‘ Make the window visible
    objIE.Visible = True
    ‘ Wait till the OK button has been clicked
    Do While objIE.Document.All.OK.Value = 0
        WScript.Sleep 200
    Loop
    ‘ Read the password from the dialog window
    GetPassword = objIE.Document.All.Password.Value
    ‘ Close and release the object
    objIE.Quit
    Set objIE = Nothing
End Function

The code will create the screen like this

Can we create the window application with VBScipt?

Can we create the window application with VBScipt?

yes: using HTML Application (HTA)

An HTML Application (HTA) is a Microsoft Windows application written with HTML and Dynamic HTML. The ability to write HTAs was introduced with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.

HTAs can be made from regular HTML files by simply changing the file extension to .hta. A regular HTML file is confined to the security model of the web browser – i.e. to communicating with the server, manipulating the page’s object model (usually to validate forms and / or create interesting visual effects) and reading / writing cookies. An HTA runs as a fully trusted application and therefore has more privileges than a normal HTML file – for example an HTA can create / edit / remove files and registry entries.

To customize the appearance of an HTA, a new tag, with attributes, is introduced: <hta:application …>. This tag appears in the <head>…</head> section of an HTA document.

Because an HTA has more privileges than an HTML page, it cannot be executed via http. Rather, the HTA must be downloaded (just like an EXE file) and executed from local file system.

 QTP code Generates for a HTML Application

QTP generates the code as similar to the normal web applications, except that it shows window instead of browser 

Example: If the  HTML Application has a edit box then code will be

Window(..).Webedit(…).set “value”

Sample code :

This example code creates a HTML app with 3 edit boxes.

<SCRIPT Language=”VBScript”>
Sub SetNameColor

If Len(UserName.Value) <> 0 Then

UserName.style.background = “cyan”

Else

UserName.style.background = “yellow”

End If

End Sub

</SCRIPT>

<body>

Name<br>

<input type=”text” name=”UserName” size=”25″ style=”background-color:yellow” onChange=”SetNameColor”><p>

Address<br>

<input type=”text” name=”Address” size=”25″><p>

Phone<br>

<input type=”text” name=”Phone” size=”25″><p>

</body>
