Unable to stop TestComplete process when click a button that is Disabled

I've seen it both ways, actually.  If the control is disabled, I've seen warnings... and I've seen it go through.  It all depends upon the implementation of the object within the application under test.  

I'm assuming, in this case, the problem is in the "Save" click.  The thing is, that's not exactly an "object" per say.  The ClickItem method works differently than Click button.  If "Save" was an actual button, you'd get a warning.  Instead, it's an item in a collection so doesn't have the "disabled" property that an actual button would have.  In this case, it's just a matter of it clicking on some item in a longer list.

So... in short, no, in this case there is no event or anything you can add... because there is no "disabled" property to look at.... at least, not in the "traditional" sense.  What I would do is examine the UltraToolbarsDockArea object, there is probably an "Items" property which will allow you to drill down into the specific items.  There MAY be a property that you can use... what I would do is add code into your script, once you know the correct property, a check to make sure that the item is available to be clicked on before you attempt it... and if it is not, throw an exception or log an error.

Hi,

I think you just add a property checkpoint to check it state (Enable = True) of the button before click it. So it will throw an error if the button is Disabled (Enable = False). Then you will know there is something not right with the button.

I am currently doing continuous intergration testing using TestComplete, when clicking a button that is disabled, TestComplete doesn't throw any error message and stop the process, it pass the test and go to next process, as a result, test failed on the next process. Should TestComplete automatically stop process and throw error when it click any buttons that is disabled, or is there any solution to add into script (for example, a event) that trigger TestComplete to stop when click a button that is disabled. 

 

I also attach partial of my scripts in here:

Sub CreateStoreInv

Call Call_Transaction("stdfi010mf")
...
...
Call frmInventoryAdj.UltraToolbarsDockArea.ClickItem("Home|&File|&Save")

If StartWinGUI.dlgInventoryAdjustment.btnYes.Exists Then
StartWinGUI.dlgInventoryAdjustment.btnYes.ClickButton
End If

Call WaitExists(StartWinGUI.dlgInventoryAdjustment, 1000)
If StartWinGUI.dlgInventoryAdjustment.btnOK.Exists Then
StartWinGUI.dlgInventoryAdjustment.btnOK.ClickButton
End If

Next

frmInventoryAdj.Close
