    Hi,

     

    Try to start TestComplete 'As Administrator' and see if it helps.

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.
