    As shankar_r pointed out above, your code is incorrect.  You have 

    p.Click()

    This is incorrect. "p" represents the parent form that contains the button. So, calling "Click" against P will click on the form, not on the button. Your last lines of code need to look something like this:

     

    var PropNames = new Array("ObjectType","idStr");
var PropValues = new Array("SubmitButton","ctl00_ContentMainHolder_btnAcceptPrivacyPolicy");
var myButton = p.Find(PropNames,PropValues,100);
myButton.Click();

    Specifically, note what I have highlighted in bold... THAT's what needs to change.  Until you make that change, this won't work.

    Thank you very much,

    Now I can able to click "Button"

     

    As mentioned in before post, i have declared to click founded object as 

    var submit= p.Find(PropNames,PropValues,100);

    after that i can't able to get any predefined method like Exists or Click.

     

    Eg:

    Submit.

    You will not get those methods at that point because, as you're editing the code, the code editor doesn't know what is going to be returned in the "Find" object... "Submit" is an undefined/empty variable as you're editing so there won't be any predefined methods available off it.  

     

    This is one advantage of using NameMapping over find methodology in that, with NameMapping, you can have TestComplete store some of the basic CodeCompletion information for mapped objects so that you can do what you're asking.  However, since we know that Submit will come back as a button, you should have no problem with just typing out the methods without using CodeCompletion.

    Hi,

     

    It is pretty straight forward,

     

    Lets say you have parent object as explorer and child item as Program Manager like below,

     

     

    Here if you want to find a Program Manager object from explorer then you have to use any of it is property to get that object.

     

    Here, we can use WndCaption as object property and Program Manager  property value.

     

    So, Sample code will be.

     

     objExplorer.Find("WndCaption","Program Manager",1,true)

     

    For more details you can refer the link provided by baxatob

        Based on your snapshot, yo wanted to click the button ryt?

         

        if that is the case, you don't need to go for find and all just use the below function to click the button.

         

        yourObject.ClickButton();

         

         

        If you want to find the button from your parent object, then you can try like below,

         

              var PropValues = new Array("SumbitButton","Accept");
      var PropNames = new Array("ObjectType","ObjectLabel");
      
      yourParentObject.find(PropNames,PropValues,10,true);

or

     yourParentObject.find("ObjectType","SumbitButton",10,true);
