Hello hina,

I thought you were right to try a delay.  I did a quick community search and found 2 related solved issues.  Could you post a code snip?  Are you scripting or Keyword testing?

Another idea is to verify the object state or insert a waitproperty method call.

WaitProperty Method:

Hi scot1967,

Thank you for your reply. Here is my code:

function test()
{
  var WA = Sys["Process"]("AXISEL")["WinFormsObject"]("MainForm")["WinFormsObject"]("splitContainer1")["WinFormsObject"]("SplitterPanel", "", 1)["WinFormsObject"]("NavigationBar")["WinFormsObject"]("WorkAreaView")["WinFormsObject"]("TV")["OutlineItem"]("TestComplete Work Area 1*");
  WA["Refresh"]();
  Delay(1000);
  
  WA["WaitProperty"]("VisibleOnScreen","True",2000);
  
  WA["Click"]();
}

I tried the WaitProperty method, it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.
