    Hi,

     

    > I open a link that open in browser another window

    Every web element in TestComplete is a descendant of a page object that corresponds to web page opened in a browser. So the generic syntax is

    Browser.page.FindChild(...)

    The above means that you must identify the new web page that is opened after clicking the link (use Object Browser for that) and use this page as a root for the search of the elements that your test code needs to interact with on it.

    Hi,

    I am not sure how BrowserWindow is namemapped, but as long as you identify correct web page (not browser window) you should be able to find the required web element with no problem.
