    ok, i think you need some mapping on openapps settings of TC to access the child elements. Perhaps also check TC documentation about which version of qt is supported

I see a difference, on the "no"t working example, you have an empty ise so it's normal you don't have children.

For me, no error, you should test in same data condition.

Regardless of what project is open in ISE the window behaves the same. Yes I should have provided an example with same exact data conditions but I didn't. Even so, an empty ISE project still has parts of the window that should be interactable. For example there is no child for the top ribbon menu even while the window is able to be interacted with.

    you're right.
    i don't know qapplication.
    If you record a script tovuse it, it's not working ? Qapplication is an heavy client ?

      When I record a script interacting with the window all actions are just recorded as pixel coordinate clicks or keystrokes on the "MainFrame" window. Obviously test that rely on pixel coordinates on a single window will not work so I've got to figure this out somehow.
