Hi I have a syncfusion grid where i am exporting its contents via using the export internal method. When calling this method a seperate modal dialog appears with a few options. At this point the test hangs and will not continue until it times out, and an error is generated. Is there a way around the method hanging testcomplete like a /nowait option? Many thanks Peter Mitcham

A drag and drop isn't ideal. But it shouldn't be too bad to implement? But at least you have a few options which all sound better than it hanging completely. I knw what you mean about the grids. I think I've found 3 or 4 different versions of DB grid in use in the Delphi app I'm working on. Mostly pretty standard, but they have added a few extras here and there. Same with the TreeView objects. They seem to like messing about with those as well. Keeps life interesting I guess!

hi,you should use an application of WaitAliasChild() that is in the samples of TestComplete.it waits the child of an object for a specific time, could you tell me what kind of script did you choose and could you paste the mapped name of any child of the window (button,...)

Hi That suggestion would work if the line of code that called the internal method had been executed and testcomplete moved onto the next line. The line I am running is "Call Aliases.gridData.export" The problem here is that the once line is run a dialog appears and testcomplete hangs. TestComplete will not execute any further lines of code until the dialog has been closed. I tried to stop the script with the dialog open and testcomplete would not stop it until i manually closed the dialog. Many thanks Peter Mitcham

try to do the following :- run your tested app as normaly and make the dialog appears.- use the Object Spy to get the name of the "ok" button (or "close" or any button similar)- map the name of this button- then use the mapped name : wait to the child object "button" to wait the dialog for ten ou more seconds and then click to the close button. type in the help "WaitAliasChild" I used the example in this help to create a function that need the following parameters : WaitAliasChildFunction(Object: AliasObj, Child: string, Time: integer)

@m_essaid It sounds like the method he calls is what triggers the dialog. In which case, he can't wait for it first as it won't appear until the method is invoked. (At which point it's hung as the dialog acts as a blocker) Am I reading that right Peter? What is the dialog it generates? Is there any way of preventing it? Change another property of the grid to switch off warnings or something?

hi Colin, in fact it's indeed what I expect : in one case, the call trigger the dialog. my proposition is to wait 10 seconds for it, and then if it appears within theses 10 seconds, close it.and if not appears, the script would only have wait 10 seconds.

Hi,

have you tried to call the method asynchronously?

  I had a similar issue with script completly freezing because of a Browser security dialog that was modal...
  
  The Runner method helped me catch that dialog and dispose of it properly so script could continue...
  
  // Checks whether the specified URL is valid
  function VerifyWebObject(link, expectedObjectData)
  {
  var myProcess = Sys["FindChild"]('ProcessName','TestExecute',1);
  if (!myProcess["Exists"])
  var myProcess = Sys["FindChild"]('ProcessName','TestComplete',1);
  var ellapsed = HISUtils["StopWatch"];
  ellapsed["Start"]();
  
  try {
  // Do something
  var httpObj = Sys["OleObject"]("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0");
  httpObj["open"]("GET", link, false);
  var w = Runner["CallObjectMethodAsync"](httpObj,"send");
  //httpObj["send"]();
  }
  catch (e) {
  // Posts an exception message to the test log
  Log["Error"](e["description"]);
  return false;
  }
  finally
  {
  while (httpObj["readyState"] != 4) {
  var thisWindow = myProcess["WaitWindow"]("#32770", "*", 1,100);
  if (thisWindow["Exists"]) {
  Log["AppendFolder"]("Capture de popup");
  var thisImage = thisWindow["Picture"]();
  Log["Picture"](thisImage,"Screen capture", "Ready State = 1");
  var thisBtn = thisWindow["FindChild"]('Name','["Window"]("Button", "*Oui", 2)',5);
  if (thisBtn["Exists"] == false) // Environnement anglais
  var thisBtn = thisWindow["FindChild"]('Name','["Window"]("Button", "*Yes", 2)',5);
  thisBtn["Click"]();
  Delay(500); // Pour donner le temps de poursuivre le chargement après la fermeture du popup.
  Log["PopLogFolder"]();
  }
  }
  }
  ellapsed["Stop"]();
  try {
  // Do something
  var content = httpObj["responseText"];
  }
  catch (e) {
  // Posts an exception message to the test log
  Log["Error"](e["description"]);
  return false;
  }
  
  switch (httpObj["status"])
  {
  case 200:
  if ( content != expectedObjectData)
  {
  Log["Message"]("Temps réponse : "+ellapsed["ToString"]());
  Log["Message"]("Le lien " + link + " est valide", aqString["SubString"](httpObj["responseText"],1,200));
  return true;
  }
  break;
  case 302:
  if (content != expectedObjectData)
  {
  Log["Message"]("Temps réponse : "+ellapsed["ToString"]());
  Log["Message"]("Le lien " + link + " est valide", aqString["SubString"](httpObj["responseText"],1,200));
  return true;
  }
  break;
  default:
  Log["Message"]("Temps réponse : "+ellapsed["ToString"]());
  Log["Warning"]("Le lien " + link + " est invalide et retourne un status: " + httpObj["status"], httpObj["responseText"]);
  return false;
  }
  return true;
  }
