Unable to open files in Windows 7 explorer

Hi,



since I have migrate my computer to Windows 7, my script to open a file in windows explorer doesn't work anymore.

In the object browser I only see a DirectUIHWND object and can't do anything with it (except click(X,Y)).

Anyone knows how to do to open my file ?



Thanks

    Hi Sandrine,



    It is my guess that you are using recorded script code. If my guess is correct and considering that Explorer application has different GUI interface in Win7 and previous OSes, you must modify the relevant part of the test code.

    Hi Alexei,



    Thanks for your reply.

    First I try to modify my code without success.

    Then I have a look to the MSAA options of my project and check * in the List of accepted windows. This enabled more properties for the explorer and helped me find the changes to make in my code. Now everything works well.
