Issue with FindChild method of TestComplete 8

Hi,



I am using TC8 for automation of WPF UI.

It used to work earlier as below:



set objListView = parentwindow.FindChild("Name","JobsListview",100)



where

JobsListview :: Name of the list view

parentwindow :: It is the window on which list view exists.



Now it not working.

Please let me know solution if any.



Thanks,

Priyanka

    hi,



    check whether there is any child objects available under the specified node first.

    Make sure that all the "parents" of the desired object are uniquely identifiable. If not, then you may have to break up the FindChild method:

    Set rootParent = <parent object>

    Set childParent = rootParent.FindChild(uniquely identifiable criteria)

    Set childChildParent = childParent.FindChild(uniquely identifiable criteria)
