    Hi Alex,

     

    Thanks for the reply, running as administrator works, it sees the message box but it does not see the "OK" button.  I just used the ".close()" function and it closes....

     

    Thanks again,

    Lee

      Hi Lee,

       

      > it sees the message box but it does not see the "OK" button.

      It may be because of the IDE/language used to create this message box.

      Assuming that we are talking about desktop applications: Usually, all windows are generated via system calls and are registered in the system as window of certain class. Such windows are always visible to TestComplete and other tools like Spy++ from Visual Studio.

      On the contrary, buttons may be created as windowed objects (C\C++) or windowless (Delphi, if I am not mistaken). In the latter case TestComplete requires debug information in order to be able to access such windowless objects.

       

      Anyway, it's good to hear that the problem is solved.
