Re: Retrieveing the title of the currently active window I think it is not posible to get the title of an active window coz the title of the window is used (sent as arguement) to work on the window or its components. I am working on it and it may be posible using visual script discriptive programming in QTP. __________________ Lack of WILL POWER has caused more failure than lack of INTELLIGENCE or ABILITY. -sutnarcha-

Re: Retrieveing the title of the currently active window Yes, we can get the active window name: Var = Window("ForeGround:=True").GetROProperty("Title") Msgbox Var

Re: Retrieveing the title of the currently active window This is good work from anilkumarbj One point I noticed is that, this code cannot be debugged. If debugged, it will always give the title of the QTP application window. Also, before we place these statements in our code, we should have other QTP statements that activate the required application window or any of its sub windows or dialog boxes. __________________ Lack of WILL POWER has caused more failure than lack of INTELLIGENCE or ABILITY. -sutnarcha-
