SetToProperty & GetToProperty

Consider a Web Button stored in the Object Repository When the test is run QTP creates a copy of this object called Test Object and compares it with the Run Time Object Using GetToProperty you can retrieve the value of a property of Test Object Using SetToProperty you can change the property value of a Test Object When the test is completed, this test object is discarded and so are any modifications you made in the object properties using the SetToProperty When the test is re-run, a new copy of the test object is created with original property values stored in the object repository You can consider using GetToProperty and SetToProperty when your test script has multiple lines of codes and your environment is sporadic For a note, there is no SetRoProperty
