limitations of winrunner dialog windows will probably force me to write an
VB exe(form with editboxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, labels and notes
text).
Does Winrunner have reserved functions for spawning a
synchronous/asynchronous thread(ie. pushing OK
on the VB dialog writes data to registry and closes the vb app.--->then
returns to the winrunner
script). Of course, I will need to hold up the winrunner script until the vb
window closes.
thanks, please send me any tips

I did it with html dialogs, it's easer, flexible for changes, nice, of
course html have some limitation for ex, you can't select folder in file
dialog.
With vbscript I saved values of the dialog in log file in format:
var=value
For synchronizing I use loop with checking title of the window (click on OK
change the title).
If you are ineresting I can send an example WR code + dialog

Can your VB utility be launched with command line arguments? In other words, forget about the OK button, just have the utility do its job after launching, and pass in any needed arguments via command line. Then invoke the utility with the dos_system command. WinRunner execution will be suspended until the process spawned by dos_system is complete.------------------

WinBatch might be a better solution.Search previous Topics for more info. Link to sample code: 1707006.zip This will open a dialog with radio buttons , Checkbox, and command buttons. It positions the WinRunner Print Log in One of Four positions on the screen and resizes it. You can get a 30 day trial version at the WinBatch Web Site. Search previous Topics for more info. ------------------
