    Hi,


    According to your screenshot, on Windows XP, TestComplete exposes the application's objects with the MSAA plug-in. On Windows 7, it recognizes the application as a .NET application and provides access to its objects via special methods. Different behavior can be caused by different project settings of the General Open Applications Options group.


    In order for TestComplete to recognize the application's objects in the same way, make sure that the settings are identical on both machines (see the attached image):



    1. Check the order of object types on the Priority of objects list. NativeClrObject must be over NativeMSAA.

    2. Increase the Method invoke timeout option's value to 30000.

    thanks for your replay,



    i double checked that the setting are identical on both of machines, and the Priority of the NativeClrObject over the MavtiveMSAA Objectin Open Applications General option. and also increased the time out of the method invoke to 30000.but it is recognised to different object remains.

    Hi,


    It seems you have .NET Framework version 4 installed on the Windows XP machine. TestComplete 7 does not support this version of .NET Framework, so, it cannot recognize your application as a .NET application.


    We have a patch that should help you. Please get in touch with us via the Contact Support web form. We'll provide you with a fix for the problem.
