TestComplete switching between two windows applications using record option

Hi All,

    

I am currently trying to automate one windows application which has an option to click on popup option and enter values.

 

when I launch my windows application,

1. firth thing it asks me to open the windows application (I am able to automated this)

2. Click on login button.  (I am able to automated this)

 

3. then it opens a default window, then we have to enter one reference number and select the document (I am able to automated this)

 

4. After selecting a document a new popup window will open and there we have to fill some options(Unable to automate the things because of window handling)

 

 

Can anyone suggest on this or if anyone options need to be select for window handling ? 

 

Basically swtiching between two different applications during automation in TestComplete.

    The window that appears, which I'm assuming it's "5447362 - US Report - 7/12/1991..." are you able to use the Object Spy tool on the UI controls, does it highlight them individually?

    Object Spy tool is this,

     

    If you move the windows, so that they are side by side. Is the Object Spy tool able to identify each of the UI controls?

    Using the Object Browser,

    Is there any child objects that identifies that particular window?

    Are you able to liaise with your developers, so see if it's possible to expose the controls of that particular window?

     

    It's worth reading though Desktop Application Testing. Check it's not a window showing a webpage too.

     

    If you post your Object Browser, it might help us to identify the window.

        Hi,

       

            This is an desktop application developed by C# language and its completely one application if we click on pop-up button a new window will open with complete details of that applicant.

    Can you click on the Advanced View settings, so that we can see all the properties exposed for the application.

    Your application doesn't seem to be exposing any controls? For example, this is Notepad++ shown in the Object Browser

     

    It's probably worth reading through Testing .NET Applications to see if there's any setup you might need to do before testing.
