Hi,In my application after Selecting a checkbox pop up will come but between these two operations 'waiting until the bar item state changes operation' is running and the script failing all the time. Its not showing the recorded steps, but only at the time running the script.How can I stop/skip this operation.Please review the screenshot.

It looks like, after the checkbox is clicked, there's some other step that needs to be executed that is not getting found. What are the steps right after the check box click in your recorded test?

Martin,Thank you for the reply!!!There are no other oprations recorded between these steps. Please review the attachment.

Is there sometimes a brief delay between when the checkbox is clicked and the dlgUserInformation window is displayed?Also, if you stop the project at that point, are there any errors or warnings in the resulting log file?The screen shots only really show half the story, the log file will give a lot more information (I hope).

What ever the messages will come in the logs if the script fails, the same messages are coming if I stop the script run.I found the below information in the Logfile. Please review the below information and if this is not you are looking for, please let me know how to navigateThe bar item stays in the unchecked state.Aliases["CSMART"]["HwndSource_Window"]["Window"]["DockPanel"]["CommonRibbon"]["RibbonHomeView"]["RibbonControl"](Sys["Process"]("CSMART")["WPFObject"]("HwndSource: Window")["WPFObject"]("Window")["WPFObject"]("DockPanel", "", 1)["WPFObject"]("CommonRibbon")["WPFObject"]("RibbonHomeView", "", 1)["WPFObject"]("RibbonControl"))

When you click the check box, I'm guessing that the web page itself refreshes. TestComplete, after clicking on a check box, tries to check the state of the check box to make sure it completed successfully. So, what you're experiencing is that TestComplete is trying to find the state of the check box but cannot.What you might want to do is look into actually setting the checked state of the check box (possibly a property called "Checked" or a method called "SetChecked") which would not necessarily go through the GUI to set the box but would have the same effect on your application.

Based upon that screen shot, I would use the IsChecked[Set] method and pass the value of "true" to it.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for the reply.

After I changed the operation as IsChecked[Set] method and pass the value of "true" to it, while running application showing as playback, but not going to the next step, please review the screenshot.

The value you need to pass needs to be of Mode Constant, Type Boolean and set the value to "true". It looks like you are using the string "true" instead of the actual boolean.

Please review the parameters what ever I mention in the attachment. I did not mention String type.

To be honest, I'm at a bit of a loss right now.

Generally speaking, you're going to have to play around with the check box component to find the proper methods, properties, etc, to end up with the box checked and then allowing the automation to continue to the next step. There will most likely be a lot of trial and error.

That is, unless someone else has any particular thoughts.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for your time.

I will try some other ways and I will let you know if I need any information.
