Answer 1

Hi.. Java Script programming cannot be done in QTP but it will support Java script. We can make a DLL by using Java script and add that to QTP and there after you can use that.

QTP supplies a COM interface for automation, in order to create the automation object you need to use ActiveXObject (see this article on using OLE Automation in Javascript).

Why do you want to avoid using ActiveXObject?

Answer 3

Any particular reason why you don't want to use the ActiveXObject?

Anyhow, if you're running JavaScript through the Windows Script Host, instead of the way mentioned in the manual:

var qtApp = new ActiveXObject("QuickTest.Application");

...you can do this:

var qtApp = WScript.CreateObject("QuickTest.Application"); 
qtApp.Launch(); 
qtApp.Visible = true;

But you be might using ActiveX behind the scenes there anyway, I'm not entirely sure.
