    Hi,

    I'm afraid, if the object browser is not recognizing the icons it will be hard click on them. Maybe you can clic on relative coords to the cell. 

    Are you sure that your icons are int the selected cell (0,3 ) instead of cel (0,2) ?

    :(

I've had to write code around browser types when using 'FindChildByXPath'. Mostly due to how our UI vendor (DevExpress) renders controls differently. I don't know if this helps or not. So far I've not had to delineate between FireFox and IE. I don't know if this will help but thought I would throw it out there just in case.

 

        if (0 == aqString.Compare(page.Parent.ProcessName, "chrome", false))
            obj = page.FindChildByXPath("//table[@id='tlEmployeeSiteAccess']//input[@id='SiteAccess" + AccessType[i] + "_" + SiteAccess[i] + "_S']", true);
        else
            obj = page.FindChildByXPath("//table[@id='tlEmployeeSiteAccess']//span[@id='SiteAccess" + AccessType[i] + "_" + SiteAccess[i] + "_S_D']", true);

        if (obj != null) {
            //Log.Picture (obj.Picture(), "image");
            //ShowMessage(obj.FullName);
            // clicks radio button
            try {
                obj.Click();

            } catch (e) {
                Log.Error("Error clicking item!");
            }
        }

Hi william. Sorry but I am not expert and so could not quite understand why you had different attributes for different browsers. If thats the way it works then I have applied that in my code and it doesnt work. It even throws exception that Picture method doesnt work for the object in consideration. If there is something I got totally wrong then please correct me. Thank you for your reply.

      I think that your problem is not with the Click operation. Your problem is with the way you mapped the object.

       

      Can you share with us the Tree of the icon you want to map? (Object Browser tab)

       

      Without seen the tree i just can recomend you to map the table. Inside the table map the icons enabling the Extended Find property. Highlight the objects to ensure that TestComplete is able to locate them properly. 

       

      regards

        Hello Lage

         

        The problem here is that the icon element is not shown or identified by the object browser. Even the Object spy identifies the cell and not the icons that are child elements of it. I got access to those icons through html. It returns exists as true if I pass the checkpoint and can successfully click on them in IE. The problem only comes in chrome. Through some research in the other blogs I understood that onclick action is having some issues in chrome so I am assuming there is way out for this tried by other members or by our experts.

         

        Please find attached the object hierarchy.

         

        Thanks
