IfObject problem

[tyrus]

Hi, I have a question about "IfObject" method in keyword tests.

I'm trying to see if a an object exists at runtime specifically: Aliases.FirstWindowsApplication.dlg.Static

so I add "IfObject" per https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/69092/

but if the object is not visible TC throws and exception?? why is this happening? I would think i nthe event  IfObject returns false, it will simple continue to "else"... Is this not how it works? if not what is the point if  "IfObject...else?"

I inluded my .exe and the script

thanks

To get around the issue you are experiencing, I use IfObject with Exists and not Visible. If it doesn't exist, then it will move to the Else. For TestComplete to determine if the object is visible or not, the object must exist. Hence the error you are receiving.
