Hi,

You missed braces i.e.( ) here.
Try as given below.

Code:

If Browser("..").Page("....").Image("Change Password").Check (CheckPoint("Change Password_2")).exist Then
    msgbox "PASS"
Else
   msgbox "FAIL"
End If

Hi bangla123,

We can easily test the checkpoint results but testing the existence of a checkpoint is quite interesting & new. I don't think that exist method support the QTP (Specially 9.2 & older versions).Please double check this with new versions as well.

By the way please tell me the requirement of doing so.

I am simply testing if checkpoint exist then do some. if not, do some.

This is the whole point.

Thanks.

Hi bangla123,

Ok... We will try to find out the possible solution.
Please let me know whether QTP supporting Exist method for checkpoint at your end.

I am still not 100 % confident as at my system it's not supporting.

Hi Bangla123 - Do you mean that you want to check the existance of a checkpoint with the script and do further action. that does not makes sense to me. existance of an object should be checked to the AUT not with the repository. would you ever try to check if a webedit test object exists in your OR before setting a value to it. I think - not. I cant think of any scenario like this so I would also like to know - why forces you do this in such way, please explain the case.

however you can do this in QTP - checkout objectrepositoryutil in QTP help (Object Repository Automation object). using this object you can go through your objectrepository. You can create a function to find the testobject in Object rep or may be GetObject method can be used to check if your checkpoint exists.
