First menu item can be clicked while the other can't

Is "Close" the exact text?  Are there other characters, other text associated with it?  As a test, have you tried recording it to see how it records?

Hi,



i understand what you are saying.

to be more accurate,if the application was loaded by me,manually, and i run the code line, the close perform properly but if TC is loading the application (using code line)and gets to the same line code it won't perform the close properly.

i tried to use 

Aliases["DesktopMainWindow"]["Source_MainWindow"]["MainWindow"]["LayoutRoot"]["menu"]["Refresh"]() 



before the close line but it didn't help as well.

do you have any other way to handle it?



Thanks

Another thing,what i see is that TC open the menu item, pointing at it but it doesn't perform the click

Hi Ofer,

but if TC is loading the application (using code line)and gets to the same line code it won't perform the close properly.

I don't quite understand what you mean. What does it mean: "won't perform the close properly"? Is there an error message, or does the behavior differ from that expected? Please describe it in greater detail.

Did you add your application to the Tested Applications collection?

* If you did, you can close it using the TestedApp.Close() method.

* If you didn't, please post here the code line that launches your application.

Thanks.

i did put the application under testedapps

i'll explain:

when using application File-->Exit the application will be close(you won't see the process running in the task manager) and for that purpose i'm using TestedApp.Close() but there is another functionality in the application where you can close the current document you are working on and still not closing the application itself,this way you can then choose File-->New and open a new document.



 "won't perform the close properly" means that i can see during run the File menu opened,i can see TC locating the mouse pointer on the Close menu item but the click doesn't perform.there's no error message



Thanks

The possibility is that the menu is owner drawn which means that clicking on the label may not always work.  Have you tried replacing it with the index of the item?  Something like Click("File|[5]")

Hi Robert,



just tried doesn't work as well.same behaviour i can see the mouse pointer pointing to the correct menu item but the click doesn't perform.

that's weird because i do use different menu items and the click perform properly for others.it's just this item i have difficulties to click on



Thanks

Why the action secceded when i'm loading the application and when TC is loading the application the action failed????

OK i have manage to find some code line that is working for rme




//Moves the mouse cursor to the menu item specified and then simulates a single click.

Aliases["DesktopMainWindow"]["Source_MainWindow"]["MainWindow"]["LayoutRoot"]["menu"]["RefreshMappingInfo"]()

Aliases["DesktopMainWindow"]["Source_MainWindow"]["MainWindow"]["LayoutRoot"]["menu"]["Focus"]()

Aliases["DesktopMainWindow"]["Source_MainWindow"]["MainWindow"]["LayoutRoot"]["menu"]["WPFMenu"]["Click"]("File");

Aliases["DesktopMainWindow"]["WPFObject"]("HwndSource: PopupRoot", "")["WPFObject"]("PopupRoot", "", 1)["WPFObject"]("Decorator", "", 1)["WPFObject"]("NonLogicalAdornerDecorator", "", 1)["WPFObject"]("MenuItem", "C_lose", 6)["ClickItem"]()



but in this case i must click the File menu in order to expose the Close menu item which i don't like it.maybe that can help you understand and explain me why the first attempt didn't work?



Thanks
