Working with 2 explorer window of same window caption

Hi All,


I need to perform an operation with 2 explorer windows which has same caption. Our application provides a menu option File -> New Window from here, which launches the same window as second explorer.


E.g.:


The first explorer instance will be:


Sys.Process("Explorer").Window("CabinetWClass", "Search Results", 1)


and the instance of second explorer will be as:


Sys.Process("Explorer").Window("CabinetWClass", "Search Results", 2)


The instance of both the explorers remains the same. Only the instance of 'CabinetWClass' changes according to the active window.Due to this, a warning message 'Ambigous window recognition' is logged in the testlog and is causing the interruptions in script execution. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

    Hi,



    Try mapping your windows by their children.



    Also, is there a reason to use Explorer's GUI in your tests? If you need to work with files and directories on your HDD, it is more reliable to access them directly.
