    I've seen the same issue a lot on my system.  It seems that, for some reason, TestComplete occasionally loses the ability to see into open applications for a short time.

First, you can use the General Open Applications property, specifically the Method Invoke Timeout property.

     

    I've also had success with the the WaitAliasChild method, and the Exists property, along with a RefreshMappingInfo call. It ends up looking like this:

     

    var w = Aliases.mySoftware.myForm.WaitAliasChild("myControl", 10000);

    if (!w.Exists) mySoftware.RefreshMappingInfo;

     

    Good luck!
