Hi,

The icon of the desktop is not a object. The method(object.ScreenLeft)  cannot be use.

I cannot calculate the coordinates of the icon in the desktop.How can I do ?

Actual problem has been attached in the file c.

Hi,

What is the purpose of getting the desktop icon coordinates?

If you really need it, you can try to get wIconBounds property:

I have got the coordinates with this property.

Thank you very much.

Do you want to use the desktop shortcut to launch an application within your test? In that case I'd suggest adding the application to the Tested Apps so you can launch it from there.
