    Hi Olga,



    What if you try to emulate the click? Something like this (untested pseudo-code):

    Set lnk = ...

    Call lnk.ScrollIntoView(False)

    lnk.HoverMouse

    Call aqUtils.Delay(500)

    Call LLPlayer.MouseDown(Win32API.VK_LBUTTON, _

        lnk.ScreenLeft + 5, lnk.ScreenTop + 1, 500)

    Call LLPlayer.MouseUp(Win32API.VK_LBUTTON, _

        lnk.ScreenLeft + 5, lnk.ScreenTop + 1, 500)



    Does it help?

Hi Olga,

I have had similar issues.

I disussed the problem with one of our developers and he told me that they altered the way the UI object works for efficiency.  The strange thing is it works if I manually click on the UI objects, but Test Complete doesn't appear to be triggering the events.



To get around this, I get the link the object points to when the UI object is clicked and I just navigate to it.
