    Has to be Set myTestObj2 = Aliases.NVivo.HwndSource_ShellView.Loading_.WaitAliasChild("WelcomeWorkspaceView",100)

    I have to get direct parent object first.WaitAliasChild() can find only the direct child, not grand child.  And this child order is defined on the Alias Tree, not the Object Map Tree which I did not realise.  TestComplete support team has pointed out where I did wrong. According to my Alias Tree, I was looking for great grand child using the WaitAliasChild().  That was why it found nothing

     

    Thanks heaps for all your helps

If you try 

 

Set myTestObj2 = Aliases.NVivo.HwndSource_ShellView.WaitAliasChild("WelcomeWorkspaceView",100)

 

does that work?

      How about a longer wait time?

       

      What test are you using to see what's returned?
