Can not click on 'caret' - invisible to TestComplete!

In main menu, we have some nested sub-menu, that can be revealed by clicking on caret to expand sub-menu.  The caret is invisible to Object Spy! Tried to record script and keyword test. Both failed! ...

    Hi Shaker

     

    Double clicking has no effect. :(

     

     

    After trying everything that has been suggested, realized it was waist of valuable time (tight deadline). I did end up talking to developers, demonstrating the issue. They have agreed to make the necessary changes for it to be visible to TestComplete.

     

    I want to thank every one trying to help me! Kudos to you all! This is a wonderful community and some great people hang out here!! Thank you! :)

Hi Robert. Thanks for the compliment! I figured, if I am asking for help, better be through. :)

 

The rub is, when clicked on the menu itself, it populates all forms under the category, but does not expand the sub-category! 

 

 

 

@ Sanjay

 

Thanks for your suggestion, I will try and post the result here. The first screenshot is actual shot of Object spy highlighting the menu itself, unaware of the caret. Here is the screen you asked for. I might add, under 'Internet Explorer' (Object Spy > Properties), the innerHTML = <b class="caret" name="caret_Emergency"></b>
Emergency

 

and

 

outerHTML = <a name="FODMenu_Emergency" class="selected" href="#" data-category="Level/2">
<b class="caret" name="caret_Emergency"></b>
Emergency
</a>

 

I don't know if that helps in anyway.

 

 

 

Thanks.

Gotcha.  OK... so,, the next thing we need is to see if there are any methods or such to "expand".  The reason being is that, as noted, the "caret" is being seen as just a class on the link.  Are there other methods associated with the link about clicking on the caret?  Check the NativeWebObject property and see what methods show there, if there are different "click" methods.

    Okay, for NativeWebObject we have:

     

    • click
    • querySelector
    • querySelectorAll

     

    Thanks

      What about methods on the main link object itself?  Also, are there any "onclick" properties set on the link?

        Hi Robert, "true" gave an error "Unable to find the object set_IsSubmenuOpen(true). See Additional Information for details. 14:38:30 Normal"

         

        Methods for "onclick" is (Null), has no methods t it. The object "Emergency" has the following:
