Hi Team,
Am automating .NET Windows forms using QTP 10.0 and Test advantage 10.3.0.0.
Application uses Net advantage controls and Object identification works fine in the active window(Visible window). However am facing issues in identifying the objects where the objects are not visible in that window. I used the workaround like scroll down to make object visible .
I need to know is that the correct way or is there any settings or any othere way of identifying the object without scrolling the window.Usally its seen that QTP identifies the object in the page irrespective of scroll down.
Thanks in Advance
Hi,
Is it not identifying the object when recording them, or is it recording fine, but not identifying the objects during replay? The way you question was phrased it could lean either way, but I am guessing it is more during replay. Typically if an object not visible exception is thrown it leans towards the fact that while the object itself was found but the action requires UI interaction and the object is not on the screen. All of our actions should by the best of their ability try to scroll the control into view. So that leaves two possibilities one, the action, may for some reason be missing the scroll into view call, or something else possibly in the application is keeping it hidden.
Let's start off by testing my hypothesis about the object being found but just not visible. As of 10.3 all of our controls have at least three Get methods, GetNAProperty, GetNAProperties, GetProxySetting, these should not require the object to be visible to run. If any of these pass, then the object is found, the proxy is loaded and working correctly, it is just not visible.
Next let's assume that it maybe in the proxy, if so, what is the swftypename of the control\controls that are having the problem, and what is are the action\actions that are failing?

Thanks Mike,
The issue of not identifying the object is during the playback. Let me drill down to the scenario so that i can give you better idea of problem am facing
I have a swfcombobox at the end of the window.To learn the object property or record, i need to scroll down the window and that works fine. During the playback am using scroll down option to make the object visible and then i will perfom the action. If i keep the action limited to just select an item from the list or get itemcount then the script works fine, however if try to validate Items count and retireve items from the comboBox then whats happening is after i read the item count the window automatically moves up making the object not visible then am using "VScroll micScrollEnd ,5scroll" to make the object visible but during retrieval(getItem) the window again moves up automatically.However if i manually scroll down the window again then it retrieves a item and immediatly window moves up again,also if i have swfbutton(submit button) to click then able to achieve using fireevent and not by regular click method.
The conclusion is that without manual intervention am not able to complete the actions for the objects needed scroll down.
swifttypename : Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraComboEditor
swifttypmename : Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraButton
Hope am able give sufficient information regarding my issue.Thanks for your time and patience Mike
