How to double click on a file with extensions from Folder

Hi All,

As part of my functional automation testing process, there is a step to double click on the downloaded software from certain folder. I was able to write a java script code to access the folder path and find the name of the downloaded software with extension but I couldn't be able to find any file operation related to opening a .extension file(double clicking) in Test Complete. Kindly help me on this.

Thanks,

Pradeep

    See Running Tested Applications. Define your application in TestedApps editor, and then call the following code.

    function RunApp()
{
    TestedApps.TeamExplorer.Run();
}

    In this scenario, I have defined TeamExplorer application as "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\TeamExplorer\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" with a working folder of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\TeamExplorer\Common7\IDE\". Running the code, launching Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2019 from TC.

      Thank you so much Marsha for your response. But this won't solve my problem here since I am trying to double click on executable file in some specific folder using automation code and the link given was to open a file from some windows applications like Notepad(File-->Open-->Choose file from folder). Kindly suggest if you have any idea about this.
