How can I just click a certain x y coordinate on a screen regardless of object?

    Please try the following:

    1. Open NameMapping project node

    2. Find and select object Sys.obunity.HwndSource_CanvasRibbonWindow7

    3. Replace number in WndCaption property value to "*" (without quotes), so something like "Appeal ID: *" should be.

    It will mean that TestComplete should find any object which WndCaption starts with "Appeal ID: " and ends with any string.

You can certainly do it by using the Record feature and clicking on all the objects you want, but be aware that by choosing to use coordinates, your test will very likely not be portable or flexible.  If anyone ever runs the test on a different machine or you run it on a laptop screen instead of  a monitor, it will have problems.

 

Let's see if we can help you identify the objects in some other way.  Let's see screenshots of the full Object Spy results for a couple of your fields so we can take a look.

Marsha_R,

 

I've attached a file documenting the manual steps, TestComplete recorded steps then finally the TestComplete playback steps for you to review.  Also, I stopped at step 3 in the playback steps because if I can't get passed that, there's no sense in continuing.

 

Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide.

 

Scott

    Thanks for the info

     

    Can you take ObjectSpy and look at WorkViewApplicationRibbon and then post a screenshot of the Advanced results?

     

    See attached for an example.

      I'll have to get that to you Tuesday.  Automation is my secondary testing task and I'll be OOO Friday & Monday.

        So in this case, is 1001 the appeal number?
