    HRm...  is the error you're getting that the object is not visible?  Or is it the error you're getting that he object does not exist?

     

    If it's an existence problem and not a visible problem, try the following change to your code.

    var table = Aliases.ShellForm.MainWorkspace.WorkingMainView.m_tableLayoutPanelMain.m_panelLeft.LeftWorkspace.TableLayoutDynamicView.m_tableLayoutPanel.BoundedDynamicViewPanel.UltraGridViewControl.WaitAliasChild("m_ultraGrid", 20000);

if !table.Exists {
    Log.Message("Unable to find ultraGrid table")
}
else {
    var r_Mena = table.FindRow(0, KOD_SEK);
}

     

    The problem very well might be in FINDING the object, not in it's visibility.  The "WaitAliasChild" does an active search and wait up to the timeout to determine if the object is even present in memory.  If the object returns within the timeout, then the result of WaitAliasChild is the object itself.  If the object does NOT return, then the result of WaitAliasChild is a "stub" object with only the "Exists" property and that property set to false.

     

    Give this a try and report the results.

To answer your questions:

 

Operating system changes, TestComplete version changes, etc., all probably impacted.  In version 14 of TestComplete there were some changes made in the internal logic of NameMapping that changed some of the late-binding of the objects so, when you assign the Alias to the table object, it's not "present" at that moment so the properties aren't set.  WaitAliasChild does a more dynamic search, assigning the object to the variable more accurately.
