    I'm not sure why you need to go through Windows Explorer, you could just use the AQFile method in a Test Complete script.

    Here is a code example in jscript that would do just this:



    aqFile.Copy("C:\\OldFile\\Oldfile.txt", "C:\\NewFile\\NewFile.txt");



    Hope this helps.

    Hi there,



    With the Silverlight application that I am testing, there is a 'browse' button on the UI that is clicked which then opens Windows Explorer.



    I then need to navigate to the required directory location to select the file that I want to upload to the Silverlight spplication.



    Are there any built in functions that will help me carry out these steps?

    Hi Seetal,

    I don't think there is a need to browse till the end of file location.



    Once you press the 'browse' button a "File Select" dialog will appear , enter the complete name in "File Name" comboBox and Click OK button.



    Example : You can enter the file name as "C:\TC\BIN\AAA.txt" and click OK or Press Enter.



    I hope this has been of some help.
