maximize applications cmd when they are compiled with VS2015 (c++ compiler)

The maximize applications cmd fails when the tested app is compiled with VS2015 (c++ compiler).  The autotest works when the tested app is compiled with VS2013 c++ compiler. The error states "The window does not respond". Also the test seems to run much slower. Anyone else having these problems.

    This could work:

     

    SET appWindow = Sys.Process("Test*te").Window("TUserForm")
CALL Win32API.ShowWindow(appWindow.Handle, SW_MAXIMIZE)

    Where you can assign the name of your Application Window from the NameMapping to the appWindow variable.

    Creating a seperate script to be called from the Keyword test is a WORKAROUND for the Keyword command Maximize not working. The script would contain the following statements:

    SET appWindow = Sys.Process("Test*te").Window("TUserForm") CALL Win32API.ShowWindow(appWindow.Handle, SW_MAXIMIZE)

     

    I have the Keyword Maximize command in hundreds of keyword tests.

    So does any one know where to report bugs to SmartBear, so this can be addressed.

     

    I will note this as a resolved workaround. Thanks again djadhav.

        Hi Nagel,

         

        TestComplete 10.6 doesn’t officially support VS 2015. I suppose TestComplete 10.6 doesn’t correctly recognize your application built in the newest VS version. Thus, you get this error.

        Support for VS 2015 was added to TestComplete 11.0. I recommend that you consider updating your TestComplete version.
