Object destroyed using .Keys in TestComplete 12 and TC12.5

I'm having an issue where a VBScript script worked fine for years in previous versions of TC but often, but not regularly fails in TC12 and TC12.5. The point where it fails is always using .keys. Her...

What happens when you like below,

 

SearchBar.Keys("^a")
SearchBar.Keys("[BS]")

Log.Message("Menu Number = " &strMenuNumber)

SearchBar.Keys(strMenuNumber)

SearchBar.Keys([Enter])

Hi Shankar,

 

It periodically gives the message "Window was destroyed during method execution." Your method for getting around the Del key is creative but I really don't need that step as I switch to using set_Text for the menu name. It still would get destroyed on the SearchBar.keys("[Enter]") in either case. I did notice that this time it said that the window was destroyed instead of the object. I have been getting both of those messages.

I have a workaround that seems to work but it's not very pretty and I don't think it really needs to be this complicated. My main concern is that .keys for del or Enter seems to be unstable.

 

For i = 1 to 4

' 'Log.Enable = False
bolStillExists = SearchBar.Exists
' 'Log.Enable = True

If Not bolStillExists Then
 Log.Warning("SearchBar object was destroyed. Finding it again.")
 Set SearchBar = QADNetUI.FindChild("ClrClassName", "UltraTextEditor", 20)
 End If

 Select Case (i)
 Case 1:
 SearchBar.SelectAll()

 Case 2:
 SearchBar.keys("[Del]")
 delay 2000
 Log.Message("Menu Number = " &strMenuNumber)

 Case 3:
 SearchBar.set_Text(strMenuNumber)
 delay 2000

 Case 4:
 SearchBar.set_Text(strMenuNumber)
 delay 2000
 SearchBar.keys("[Enter]")

 End Select
 Next



Thanks for taking the time to help.
