Hello,Environment: Windows 7, Java 7, TestComplete 9I'm testing on a Java based application, so I have a JList that is clearly visible from the application, these are its properties:Enabled: TRUEExists: TRUEVisible: TRUEVisibleOnScreen: FALSE ( I can still see it)wFocus: 0So if I want to declare a variable like this:var list = javaeditpane.LevelList;--> it would give me an error that it is not found. (Object not found).The only way that the VisibleOnScreen would change to TRUE as property is if I click on that list (it's empty).Unfortunately I can't click on it to "focus" if I can't find it... :(Is there a way to get the list to be VisibleOnScreen to true? Or some workaround to ignore that property?Thanks!

I had a similar problem.For me it worked to insert a delay before using the item thats property "visibleonscreen" was false.

Hi Tiffany, Try refreshing the mapped criteria before accessing the VisibleOnScreen property by using the RefreshMappingInfo method.

Thank you I will try that Delay method.

I just had a similar problem for a window as well, so I assumed it can be fixed with the same idea as the delay as Joachim suggested.I tried a WaitWindow function, a Delay function and also WaitProperty function for VisibleOnScreen and they do not work! :(Through Object Spy it sees all the settings as TRUE (what I want), but through Name Mapping for it, it sees the VisibleOnScreen as FALSE.Are there any SmartBear experts who have seen a similar scenario to help me? :(

Hi Tanya,I tried it out and it worked out perfectly for the window visibility on screen problem, I was able to select it and interact with it.For those who have a similar problem, this is an example of what I wrote (obviously I think I went overboard with the waits and checks but it worked out for me without a problem).My window is LogLvlConfig:if (LogLvlConfig.Exists) { Aliases.RefreshMappingInfo(); LogLvlConfig.waitProperty("VisibleOnScreen", true, 10000); LogLvlConfig.Activate();}Thank you to everyone who helped!

     LogLvlConfig.Activate();

}

Hi I'm having the same problem, i have an item which seems to have the Visible and VisibleOnScreen property on false...

I can actually see the object but if i log the property it says false, if i set it to true it gives me this error:

Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment

I'm using TC10 please help...

Hi Ricardo,

Have your tried refreshing the object before accessing its properties? You can use the Refresh method or the RefreshMappingInfo method (if you are using Name Mapping).

Ok i have just used it with no succesful results, let me specify the issue better:

I have this window with some form controls in it (textfields, comboboxes, etc) if i use the display object spy, i can't inspect any of those controls, i can see them but the tool just don't highlight any of them...

If i see the NameMapping the textfield i'm trying to access has Visible and VisibleOnScreen properties on False, if i modify those values to true from the NameMapping, it displays a message saying:

The object does not exists
