 i tried this script. it's working fine but not giving
appropriate checkbox in the application

Just remove line Odesc("nativeclass") = "Button"

Set oPageObject = Browser("browsername").Page
("pagename").Object
	Set oTableObject = oPageObject.getElementsByTagName
("list")
	iTotalTbl = oTableObject.length

'Counting total number of lists

Set Odesc= Description.Create
Odesc("htmltag").value= Input
Set linkcollection= Browser("").page("").childobjects(Odesc)
Itemcount=linkcollection.count()
msgbox Itemcount

HI Every bodey,---

Any object present in the page is known as childobject.
Ex:-Link,Web Edit,Check Box,Web button,List box,etc...

If u want to coun the Listboxes (or)Check boxes you can
write below script.

---------CODE----------

set ochbox=description.create
ochbox("micclass").value="checkbox"

set chobj=Browser().Page().childobjects(ochbox)
n=chobj.count

msgbox n  '(here you can get how many check boxes there in a
page)

for i=o to n-1
val1=chobj(i).getroproperty("innertext","name")
msgbox val1
next
-----------End---------
In the same way we can find Links,Webbuttons,Listboxes,etc..
