    Hi,

     

    Are tabs that are not active and their controls disposed of or continue to exist?

    If they continue to exist then nothing in your code prevents TestComplete from finding a control on the inactive tab.

    Possible solution:

    a) Change object addressing to search not from application, but from the tab root. E.g. 

    ltarget := Aliases.(Application Name).tab1.Find(lprops,lvals,20,true);

    b) Add some other criterion (e.g. VisibleOnScreen) to the search conditions to prevent TestComplete from matching invisible controls.

     

    Does this help?
