Can you show the properties of this element: Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("*").Form("aspnetForm").Panel("divHeaderAndContent").Panel("contentWrapper").Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(2).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Table(0).Cell(0, 0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Link(0)

 

What do you see in the Object Browser? 

 

Also I recommend to go through this topic: https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/86688/

    Do you want any specific property or all the basic properties 

     

    i am using  Execute(strCommandLine) this command to execute.

     

    where strCommandLine = call Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page("*").Form("aspnetForm").Panel("divHeaderAndContent").Panel("contentWrapper").Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(2).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Table(0).Cell(0, 0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Panel(0).Link(0).click

      Your target element (Link) has the "Height" property == 0 => "VisibleOnScreen" == False

      This is why TestComplete engine can't interact with it.

       

      Possible workaround is to interact with its parent element - Panel

       

      But I bet that this is a kind of application code issue. Can you check CSS code for this kind of element?  Especially its display property.

        Hi sorry for late post.

         

        I changed the CSS display property and TC was able to get that object.

         

        But is their any alternative way to get the object other than making changes in the application code.

         

        Does that mean if VisibleOnScreen property is false then the object is not caught/recognize by TC ??
