Switch TestComplete's focus among processes

Hi,

 

I have 2 processes that opens 2 forms side by side. Visualy, there isn't a form that overlaps another.

I have to focus on the left form, but it says :

 

Unexpected window: 'theRightForm'

 

So before acting on this form i'm trying to set the focus, but I didn't manage to do so.

 

I tried :

Aliases.MyProcess.MyForm.Activate()

or

Aliases.MyProcess.MyForm.SetFocus()

or

Aliases.MyProcess.MyForm.Click()

 

Anyone could advise please ?

 

Thank you,

 

Mehdi

    You can, in the project, check the option to ignore unexpected windows.  Will this resolve things?  It's possible that the unexpected window handler is preventing the additional clicks.

    If the RightForm is modal in any way, while it doesn't overlap, it will still be an "unexpected window".
