2 instances of the application running - adressing the right windows

Hi,

I'm facing a problem with building a test with Test Complete.

We may run several instances of our applications in the same time. Processes appears under the Object browser as ["Process"]("Name"), ["Process"]("Name",2) etc... So they differ asexpected by an index.

But below windows carry the same name:

["VCLObject"]("TConfig0") and the same MappedName.

Thus when trying to act on the second window, it is always the first window wich is adressed.



Is there a way to manage this, in KeywordTests or with script tests ?

I've no problem to pick the good process but I can't retrieve the windows from it.

The following script fails

var p,w;

 p = Sys["Process"]("Name")["_NewEnum"];

 w = p["VCLObject"]("TObjectAliase0");  // error: Object expected




Many thanks for your help.

Have nice tests,

Christophe

    Hi,



    If there are multiple instances open, you should know on which one you want to perform the action. That you can capture using index.

     p = Sys["Process"]("Name",1 or 2 or indexnumber)



    i guess this is what you are looking.



    regards,

    the error was in the previous instruction: ["_NewEnum"] that was not necessary...



    Nevertheless I'm interested if there is a way to adress my question using KeywordTests.



    thanks for help,

    Hi Saurabh,

    thank you for your reply.

    It now works perfect !

    And as script are really more convenient for low level actions, I will pursue on this way.
