Here is another question, if you don't mind. There is a Windows application with a toolbar across that has File  Search  Help. (see attachment).   I want to select something from "File" (but ...

    Thanks, but the problem is I can't get a more detailed view.  It just gives a larger red frame, and I can't select anything inside, either with the spy or point and click.

      While recording a test fully is not something that is usually recommended up here, using the "record" feature of TestComplete to examine how a component is interacted with or how TestComplete "sees" things is CERTAINLY a good way.

       

      So... what do you get in TC when you record clicking on the particular component and menu options?  How does it turn out?  Maybe that will reveal to you how to go about the selecting the menus you want.

        I actually did record, and it works in the recording.  But I don't know how to convert the mapped objects into my C# universe that has no mapped objects, as it uses the mapped names.  But I now see the point and click.  You do ctrl-shift-a to select the item.  So that seems to have done it for me.

      This makes me think that you tested application wasn't prepared properly and TestComplete cannot see objects inside the application. Could you please make sure that you added all the required libraries?

        It says you need do this:

         

        function Test()
        {
          var p;  
          p = TestedApps["Items"](0)["Run"]();
          while (p["Exists"])
            aqUtils["Delay"](500);
        }

         

        only if we aren't using Connect.RunTest().  But we are using Connect.RunTest() so I do not need to do that, correct?

         

        Also, for libraries we have these attached (please see attached image).  I masked our company confidential libraries to protect confidentiality. Am I missing something?  It looks like they are all there.
