    What you have written, using VCLObject, that ideally should have worked.

     

    I've noticed, that each of your tabs have numbers which you can select using ALT + number.

    You should be able to do something like, Sys.Process("Finance").VCLObject("dlgGLsetup").VCLObject("pnForm").VCLObject("tnbGLSetup").Keys("~1"); to select Fund Codes tab.

     

     

    Note, in my previous example, the line 

    Aliases.Finance.dlgGLsetup.pnForm.tnbGLSetup.pageFundCodes.Click(); // name mapping

    is based on having a name mapping for pageFundCodes.

You might be able to do something like,

 

Aliases.Finance.dlgGLsetup.pnForm.tnbGLSetup.ClickTab("Fund Codes");
Aliases.Finance.dlgGLsetup.pnForm.tnbGLSetup.Click("Fund Codes");
Aliases.Finance.dlgGLsetup.pnForm.tnbGLSetup.ClickItem("Fund Codes");
Aliases.Finance.dlgGLsetup.pnForm.tnbGLSetup.pageFundCodes.Click(); // name mapping

 

In the Methods tab, there might be methods you can use to select your tab page.

Hi

I tried all the suggested options. None of them works.

1. 'ClickTab' method is not available for tnbGLSetup

2. 'Click' method option gives me mismatch error

3. 'ClickItem' method gives unable to find object error

4. Name mapping gives unable to find object error

 

I did further investigation using full name as well as below Sys.Process("Finance").VCLObject("dlgGLsetup").VCLObject("pnForm").VCLObject("tnbGLSetup").Window("TSPage", "Ledger Codes", 1).Click().

It get Non existent object error for Ledger Codes tab as screenshot in attached document

but it can find Fund Codes which is the default tab when this form is loaded.

I'm using Python for scripting. I checked with devs, with alt+tab we can click the tab in the application. Is there any way we can use alt +tab in the code?
