    Current:

    Sys["Process"]("SmAlloc")["Window"]("Afx:*", "Production * - IO-Allocation", 2)["Window"]("AfxMDIFrame110u", "", 1)["Window"]("SysTreeView32", "", 1)

     

    Can you try like this,

    Sys["Process"]("SmAlloc")["Window"]("Afx:*", "Production * - IO-Allocation")["Window"]("AfxMDIFrame110u", "", 1)["Window"]("SysTreeView32", "", 1)

    The logic behind this,

     

    ["Window"]("Afx:*", "Production * - IO-Allocation", 2)

     

    Here, "Afx*" is the mandatory parameter that TestComplete expects other two are optional hence Object is getting identified without index.

     

    From TestComplete Document

    TestObj.Window(WndClass, WndCaption, GroupIndex)

    TestObj A variable, parameter or expression that specifies a reference to one of the objects listed in the Applies To section
    WndClass [in]    Required    String    
    WndCaption [in]    Optional    String Default value: *   
    GroupIndex [in]    Optional    Integer Default value: -1   
    Result A Window object
