Hi Tanya,
As suggested we tried removing * from MSAA and UI Automation but it had not made any difference.
We are not directly working with the Microsoft OutLook, it is our application which call the default configured mail server to send mails on behalf of.
And when that OutLook comes up TestComplete literally Hangs and we cannot even do the spy operation, when we manually click on Deny button then Test Complete comes to its normal state.
I have also did the below steps: to avoid the pop up:
The Programmatic Access security settings in the Trust Center provide the following options:
Warn me about suspicious activity when my antivirus software is inactive or out-of-date (recommended) This is the default setting in Office Outlook 2007. Suspicious activity refers to an untrusted program attempting to access Outlook.
Always warn me about suspicious activity This is the most secure setting and you will always be prompted to make a trust decision when a program attempts to access Outlook.
Never warn me about suspicious activity (not recommended) This is the least secure setting.
I have set the setting to "Never warn me about suspicious activity (not recommended) This is the least secure setting."
but still no luck, it is behaving same....
Hope this understand our problem, please let me know for any more info.
Regards,
Sharana
I don't believe this is anything that SmartBear can help with. I may be way off here but I believe that Outlook has a security procedure that will prevent any unknown source from accessing that popup to prevent malware from getting around it.
Do some research online about that message and you should be able to find a way around it. If you are running an up to date anti-virus that actually communicates with Windows then this message should never come up. A lot of popular software will skip that message if Windows knows about the application but in the case of an in house developled application thats not likely to happen. Also if your security restrictions aren't too bad you can tell Outlook to never show that message box but that presents a possible security failure.
Other than those options your only other hope may be to see if you can find the MSAA name of that popup some other way they using spy but this may just loop back to the first issue of an unknow application accessing that popup.
Again I may be way off base but that's what I can gather from my vague memory of dealing with that popup in the past.
