Hi naveenchandravp - 

 

What types of messages are you getting in regard to the failures? It could be a timing issue if it is inconsistent - sometimes a delay or increasing the time in between steps can help to mitigate issues. But ill have a better idea to help if you can let me know what the failures are. 

 

Thanks, 

Emma

ebarbera Thank You for the quick response and apologies for not providing complete details.

 

Below is the error that I am getting

"Popup menu was not found for the "Aliases.DataExplorer.Shell2.Composite2.Composite.Composite.Composite.CTabFolder.ContributedPartRenderer_1.CTabFolder.StatisticsComposite.ListView" object. 0:50:36 Normal 11.22"

 

The Popup menu was not found because ClickItemR was not successful. 

 

I also tried using the ClickR function and provided proper x, y coordinates. Here too the app is inconsistent. It sometimes opens the context menu and sometimes doesnt.

I added a delay of 2000 ms in between each step. No luck

 

The version of TestComplete I am using: 14.93.312.7 (running on 64 bit)

    Now when I was checking what's new on TestComplete 15.10 page, I see a comment about improved "click-related" actions. I will upgrade my installation and try. Meanwhile, if you have any suggestions I would be grateful.

      Little disappointed as TestComplete 15.10 also fails to fix this problem. Same behavior.

      Can you please let me know if there is something that I need to do? Or you need more details around this topic.

       

      Thanks,

        For anyone who is struggling with the same problem, I wrote a python script (which is just a workaround and not the desired way of opening the context menu on lists) which seems to be working for me.

         

        def open_context_menu():
          arr = Sys.Process("<ProcessName>").FindAllChildren("WndClass", "SysListView32", 50)
          if len(arr) > 0:
            for i in range (0, len(arr)):
              if True == arr[i].Focused:
                arr[i].ClickR()
                Log.Message("Context Menu Opened Successfully!")
                break
          else:
            Log.Error("No List Objects were found.")

         

        ebarbera I would still like to hear from you if there is any better approach for this issue.
