After right clicking and deleting an item from a dropdown menu, TestComplete stalls

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the confusing title but it's a bit of a strange problem.



In my test I open a dropdown menu (wpf comboBox) right click one of the items, and press delete.

The script is :  



Sys.Process("TestedApp").FindChild("Name", "*ComboBoxItem*" + ItemTitle + "*" ,100).ClickR();

Sys.Process("TestedApp").FindChild("Name", "*ComboBoxItem*" + ItemTitle + "*" ,100).PopupMenu.Click("Delete")

//A "are you sure you want to delete ItemTitle confirmation message appears here and disables the main application window.

//The test stalls for a few minutes here.

Log.Message("test passed");



after clicking delete, the delete confirmation message pops up, and TestComplete stalls for a few minutes with the message "Waiting for WPFObject("ComboBoxItem", "ItemTitle", 6)" before continuing to the Log.Message line.



I don't understand why it keeps looking for the item in the dropdown menu after deleting. is it some kind of hidden feature in the popupmenu / findchild methods?



The same happens when I try to run a recorded test.



Thanks ahead,

Y. Shippin

    Hello,


    I suggest that you delete an item in your control in the following way:



    // ...

    PropArray = new Array("ClrClassName", "Content");

    ValuesArray = new Array("ComboBoxItem", "ItemTitle");  

    var w = Sys.Process("TestedApp").FindChild(PropArray, ValuesArray, 20);


    if (w.Exists)

    {

      w.ClickR();

      w.PopupMenu.Click("Delete");

    }

    // ...



    Once the Delete context menu item is selected, please make sure that TestComplete handles the confirmation message properly before accessing the main window's objects.

    I'm afraid this returns the same results...

    TestComplete is stalling on the line :   w.PopupMenu.Click("Delete");

    with the message: "Waiting for WPFObject("ComboBoxItem", "TestItem1", 12)"

    After the delete button was clicked.



    Here is the code used :



    var itemTitle= "TestTitle";

    Sys.Process("VS Forensics").FindChild("Name", "*testedComboBox", 100).Click();

    PropArray = new Array("ClrClassName", "Content");

    ValuesArray = new Array("ComboBoxItem", itemTitle); 

    Sys.Process("tested application").Refresh();

    var w = Sys.Process("tested application").FindChild(PropArray, ValuesArray, 20); 



    if (w.Exists)

    {

      w.ClickR();

      w.PopupMenu.Click("Delete");

      Log.Message("Passed")

    }

    Hello,


    I suggest that you rerecord the actions to click the Delete context menu item, add the FindChild method call of the combo-box object (instead of the Process object) if needed and check how it works.
