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!

Hi Ricardo,

I think, first, we need to investigate why the controls aren't recognized. What kind of application (WPF, .NET, VCL) are you using? Also, please let us know the class name of the problematic window (you can check this in TestComplete's Object Browser).

Hi Ricardo,

As you are testing a PowerBuilder app, you need to perform additional steps to make TestComplete properly recognize the app. Could you please refer to the "Testing PowerBuilder Applications with TestComplete" article for details?

Hi Ralyn,

It's a read-only property. You can use the Activate method (or similar) to activate the window. As a result, the property value will be automatically updated.

Ralyn,

As a rule, this property is used to identify an object in Name Mapping (add it as in the mapping criteria) or when calling the Find method.
