There was an attempt to perform an action at point (1439, -108), which is out of the window bounds.

My code:

Aliases.Inventor.refresh
Call Aliases.Inventor.MainWindow.MDIClient.Click(Aliases.Inventor.ViewClientArea2.width-25,12)

I want to use a relative coordinate to click a button that can't be spied by testcomplete. But the test failed in another PC.

Addtional info:
The window size is (1464, 842); screen rectangle: the left top corner is (216, 144), the right bottom corner is (1680, 986).
The screen coordinates of the point is (1655, 36).
 
So I don't know how the testcomplete calculate the coordinate?

    Thanks, the issue can't appear now. If it still be there, I'm glad to have a try.

    Have You tried:

    Call Aliases.Inventor.MainWindow.MDIClient.Click(Aliases.Inventor.ViewClientArea2.left+Aliases.Inventor.ViewClientArea2.width-25,12)

    ?

        For virtus detected in China, I'm sorry I'm late to reply you. Thanks all, I found this issue can't appear in our test cases.

    Hi,

     

    > how the testcomplete calculate the coordinate?

    .Left and .Top object's properties are relative to the parent container's one.

    .ScreenLeft and .ScreenTop are relative to the desktop.

    Does this help?

      Thanks AlexKaras , I know these one. As you see, the click action don't execute the coordinate what I expressed, so it failed. It is a confuse question for some testers.

        Hi,

         

        So... Is the problem solved or not?

    Hi,

     

    Am-m-m... Still not sure that I got your answer...

     

    > I will record it here.

    If it is just for the record, then OK.

    If you are looking for the solution, then this is simple - put a breakpoint on the problematic line with a call to .Click() (or add debug logging right before it if you don't have TestComplete installed on the box where the problem occurs), analyse the values of all participating objects (MDIClient, ViewClientArea2), calculate click coordinates manually and verify that TestComplete clicks at correct point, consider where the click must be done and consider what coordinates of what objects must be used to obtain the required values.

    Hope, this will help.

     

    P.S.

    > Aliases.Inventor.refresh

    Considering that you are using Aliases (which is right) and if some aliased object is recreated while it is used by test code, I would recommend to consider .RefreshMappingInfo() method. (See documentation for the description of the difference between .Refresh() and .RefreshMappingInfo())
