    Here's a simple example,

    function iframelink()
{
    // https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_iframe_target    
    var browser = Sys.Browser("chrome");
    var page = browser.Page("https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_iframe_target");
    var frame = page.Panel("container").Panel("iframecontainer").Panel("iframe").Panel("iframewrapper").Frame("iframeResult");
    Log.Message(frame.Frame("iframe_a").TextNode(0).contentText);
    frame.Link(0).Click();
    Log.Message(frame.Frame("iframe_a").Panel("main").Panel(0).Panel(0).TextNode(0).contentText);
}

Yes, if the sample is ok then you need to make sure that you've done the proper setup for testing your app.  Are you doing desktop or browser testing?

It is for browser testing. But it used to work fine and would be able to find any process running. The desktop sample was the only time where I could find it recognizing anything after it stopped finding anything else, and even then it only recognized the application that was made and not any other processes going on.

    Okay, "used to work fine" is important.  Without telling us that, it sounds like you've never had it work right and that's a different problem.  It's better if you give all the information you have about a problem instead of the least amount.  We can get to your answer quicker that way.

     

    Now, what changed right before this started happening?  Did you upgrade TestComplete?  Did your app get updated?  Is the test running on a different machine than before?  Did you upgrade the browser?

      It probably would have been good to include that in my initial post but it can also be hard to figure out exactly what information would be relevant to a problem if you do not know what might be causing the problem. But the machine that it is being tested on and the TestComplete version are the same as when it was previously working. The Browser has most likely updated and the webpage being tested has been updated however I would not think those would be directly related to TestComplete not recognizing any other processes running. As for a change on the machine that is using TestComplete that might cause some kind of issue...that might be a possibility if applicable in this situation.

        I test on both Chrome and IE and I am aware of Chrome updating and it needing patches, but it does not seem to recognize and processes running including any browser. Also, I think I've had that problem in some cases but TestComplete would still recognize Chrome as there just not recognize anything going on in it.
