Object doesn't exist

Question

While running the test script : It throw error Object tabcontrol doesn't exist (but some-time it executes properly)

(Object Mapping is proper and in picture tab show control is available.)

code eg:

Set tabControl = pynw_MainForm.Pynw_MainPanel.panelMain.dockPanel.DockWindow.DockPane.Pynw_Explorer.splitContainer1.SplitterPanel.tabControl
Call tabControl.Click(62, 11)
Call Delay(8375)
Call tabControl.ClickTab("Plants")
Call Delay(2000)

Call tabControl.ClickTab("Groups")

what could be possible reason of getting failure?

Rather than using Delay to wait for objects, it's recommended to use Wait. There are many examples here:

&nbsp;
This could help your object doesn't exist issues.

If you look at the log file, the picture it's captured or the detailed information. Then it should give you a rough idea of the issue.&nbsp;You might have to watch, while playing back that specific test. It could be that the control is not visible just yet, or something is&nbsp;obscuring the control.&nbsp;Is it necessary to have these lines of code?Call tabControl.Click(62, 11)
Call Delay(8375)&nbsp;
