    Hi Jens,

     

    I hope that you with Support guys will solve this problem. Just a quick note though: Window objects (what forms are) cannot get focus indeed. It is controls on the form that usually can be focused. Windows/forms must be activated instead using the .Activate() method.

    Far not sure that this might help, but anyway...

    Hi Alex,

     

    Thanks for your reply, it´s the same that we were advised by the support team. SetFocus() on a form works for us usually - but not in this case. It's no problem to use Activate() instead of SetFocus(), but it bothers me a bit that we have to use Activate() everytime when we start a tested app to prevent that occasional error.

    Anyway, it is working now.

     

    Thanks...

     

    Best regards

Hi schwarz,

 

Is your Problem still existent?

Which properties did you use to map your window in the NameMapping?

 

I think some properties may not be constant in different runs or may have change with Windows 10.

 

It would be great if you could provide the mapping info of your testet window.

 

 

Regards Sebastian

Yes, the problem still exists. We've already contacted Smartbear Support to find a solution.

 

We do not use name mapping at all.

 

Best regards
