Hi Tanya,
From topic 'Project Properties - General Open Applications Options', i get "Method invoke timeout - .... If the specified time period has elapsed and the execution has not been started, TestComplete posts an error message to the test log."
However, there is no such error mesages are posted, and i think the setting is for 'Open' application. While the situation i met is more like the 'Open' application is not treated as 'Open'.
I also met another similar issue yesterday:
My application is developed by Java, there is a treeView control inside it. At the begining, i could view the treeView control in TC's Object Browser, and there was a Java icon ahead of the treeView control node. Then i had a test to perform Select/Click/Expand actions on a node of the tree. After the test was finished, the treeView node in Object Browser changed to 'Window ' type. It sounded the treeView control was no longer 'Open' anymore - the control was 'Open' again after relaunching the applicaiton.
However i could not reproduce the issue on another test VM. I don't know why it happens, hope to get some answers from you.
Thanks,
Ocean
