    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,

 

What TestComplete version are you using? Please make sure that this compiler version is supported by TestComplete installed on you computer. You can check this in the the Testing C++Builder Applications - Overview ( http://smartbear.com/viewarticle/75483/ ) article.

      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.

        I installed TestComplete v11.20.1491.7 and still the Maximize cmd is not working in the automated keyword tests for applications compliled with VS2015 (c++ compiler).

        If I select the statement in the keyword test right click and select "highlight on screen" the window is reconized. But when executing the test or the statement to maximize the tested application, the process returns an error "The window does not respond". Any suggestions?

        Thank you.
