DblClick failing because point is out of bounds??

Hmm, I'm having an interesting problem trying to double-click on a control in our desktop application.  The problem is the DblClick (double-click) action fails and the log reports that is because the...

    I've taken a different approach and it's working.  Since the hover is in the correct position, I get the screen coordinates of the mouse cursor at that point.  Then I double-click on the screen coordinates relative to the application rather than the column header object.  That's double clicking in the desired place.

      Set o_colHdr = <Alias to column header here>
  i_Width = o_colHdr.Width
  i_Height = o_colHdr.Height
  x = i_Width
  y = i_Height/2
  o_colHdr.HoverMouse x, y
  x = Sys.Desktop.MouseX
  y = Sys.Desktop.MouseY
  Aliases.Sys.Ezp.Session.DblClick x, y

    I think the original problem is probably a bug with the DblClick method.  Something with coordinates relative to an object vs. the screen.  However, rather than pursuing that with support I'll go with my workaround.

    Thanks for all your feedback.

Your statement "The log contains no pictures for either entry.  That tab is blank. " is interesting and perhaps your starting point to investigate. I suggest you use the recorder to record your actions.

I used web application in browser to record and play such KeywordTests and converted to code. Booth scripts play nicely and I do capture pictures.

    DblClick coordinate is relative to the object, but I think you are clicking just outside of the bounding rectangle.
