TC problem when application’s window name is changing

Have you considered passing in the name of the server as a parameter?

You can use wildcards * in the name (Shell*).

Or you don't define the object by his name. Use the Find or FindChild Method and search for Property/Value which is available of this object.



Hope it helps.

In addition to my last post:

=================

Object should be found if you use the wildcards as in following example:

=> Sys.Process("myappl").SWTObject("Shell*",
"Myapplication - *").SWTObject("Composite", "", 5)



But I'd like to give you a notice for better scripting. It's not a patch on you!

1) you shouldn't use capture and replay without changing some code. This is because names or indexes and so on may change during test and test script has to be changed evry time. This is not effective :-)



2) Use variable and check if object exists, then further on with next steps. That makes more stable the testrun.

=> Example:

var appName = "myappl";

var application = Sys.Process(appName);



//use any unique property or more if neccessary

if(application["FindChild"]("ObjectIdentifier", "Myapplication - *", 10, true)["Exists"]){

   myApp = application["FindChild"]("ObjectIdentifier", "Myapplication - *", 10,false);   

   //if you need the index too, then define array with params and values

   myApp["FindChild"]("Name", "Composite", 5, true);

}
