Happy Holidays
Back in 2008, HKosova posted a blog article where she described how you can do all sorts of fancy stuff with TestComplete, including playing a holiday song. You can read it for yourself.

Well, last night, I got inspired and said to myself, "Why stop at one song? Why not code to play ANY song?"
So... starting with Helen's fantastic code, I created a Script Extension with no real world useful purpose other than to play music. You can download the MusicBox from my repository on bitbucket and install it in your TestComplete environment.
To play Helen's original holiday tune, open a new JavaScript project in TestComplete. In the Unit1 script unit created, copy and paste this code in:
function HolidayTune() {
MusicBox.PlaySong(MusicBox.JingleBells);
}
Run the code... and enjoy!
If you want to "write" a new song, all you need to do is something like this:
function MySong() {
var CMajorScale = [new MusicBox.Lyrics('This is a C Major Scale'),
new MusicBox.Notes('C4', 2000),
new MusicBox.Notes('D4', 2000),
new MusicBox.Notes('E4', 2000),
new MusicBox.Notes('F4', 2000),
new MusicBox.Notes('G4', 2000),
new MusicBox.Notes('A5', 2000),
new MusicBox.Notes('B5', 2000),
new MusicBox.Notes('C5', 2000)];
MusicBox.PlaySong(CMajorScale);
}
Have fun, and happy holidays!
[EDIT] P.S. The extension is chromatic... you can do ASHARP3 or EFLAT5 or other such designations to get the half steps in the chromatic scale.
Happy Holidays, Guys :)
tristaanogre, great to see that HKosova's project is till so popular!
We've prepared another song - this is a traditional Russian song that we sing since our childhood. It tells about a long way a Christmas tree should travel before getting into our houses and bringing happiness to our families.
Enjoy the song :)
