i have been looking at both those articles for quite a while now and still not "getting" it. When i used testcomplete a couple of years ago (i could be wrong but) i don't remember there being an execution plan in the project with all those checkboxes. were "test cases" identified somehow differently in the past? in the article found at
it doesn't even show the two handlers for test cases only for tests. is that article outdated because my testcomplete lists both of them under Test Engine Events.
The first linked article you posted says this about OnStopTestCase:
Description
Occurs when TestComplete stops running a test case:
- When the execution of any project test item marked as a test case is stopped (regardless of whether you run individual test items or the entire project).
Well, i have marked SignInOut as a test case in my execution plan. all the test items are children of it. i would think that when the last child completes the parent testcase is complete (stops running).
as for the second link in your reply aren't you still restricted to use only the event handlers that appear in the "available events" list?
Examples would really be helpful here. thanks!
What version of TestComplete are you using?

I think you could use this example for what you are trying to do. Check for the current name to be equal to that of your parent test case.

yes, i saw that example but the OnStopTestCase event handler does not get triggered when the item i have marked as a test case in my execution plan (SignInOut) is complete. I have put the OnStopTest event handler back in and i am using the following IF statement in it which does work since CloseNuPoint is the last test item/keyword script inside the SignInOut test case
if (Project.TestItems.Current.Parent.Name == "SignInOut" && Project.TestItems.Current.Name == "CloseNuPoint" )
I would still prefer to figure out how to resolve the issue that would allow the OnStopTestCase event handler to get triggered since it has the whole list of StopTestCaseParams getting passed into it and OnStopTest does not. I just think there has to be something about the execution plan checkbox that isn't really causing that to be literally considered a test case. maybe a project option or something? i have no idea.
Thanks. I'll utilize my work around but might refrain from clicking the accept as option button to see if anyone has any more ideas about triggering the OnStopTestCase event handler and the execution plan test case checkbox.
