Window is invisible and thus cannot be activated

Hi,



This can happen because the target object is not shown on the screen. Before clicking, check its VisibleOnScreen property. If it is False, try activating the parent window by calling its Activate method.

Visible properity = True

In all my invisible cases.

Please provide working solution to the problem.

Hi,



Read my previous post carefully. As I said:

Before clicking, check its VisibleOnScreen property. If it is False, try activating the parent window by calling its Activate method.

Here is my steps:

-using object Properties find tool drag the tool to the "Invisible window" before clicking on it.

-In the search box type: "VisibleOnScreen"

-Look at the results.

-Results: VisibleOnScreen = TRUE

Please correct me if I didn't follow your instructions.

Hi,



Actually, I mean checking VisibleOnScreen in your script before trying to perform any actions with the target control. If you get True, proceed with clicking, otherwise, call Activate of the top-level parent of your button.

Please provide Step by Step instructions.

Hi,



Jared meant modifying your script test code like this (VBScript mokup):

If (yourTestedObject.VisibleOnScreen) Then

  ' your current code

Else

  Log.Error(yourTestedObject.FullName & " is not visible on screen")

End If
