Cannot identify the object error on replay

[didi]

Hi all

I'm evaluating QTP but i run into a severe problem stopping me form replaying scripts successfully

I can record the application (.Net Windows Forms) but on replay I get errors:

Cannot identify the object "WindowsForms10.Window8.app2"

Typically there are SwfWindow*** calls but this seems to be a custom DropDownBox and there just a WinObject is scripted...

I've tried some stuff like Object Identification or creating a new Virtual Object but as i'm the 1st day with QTP I may be missing here something

Please help me

Script excerpt:
...

Code:

SwfWindow("XY Client  v1.1").Activate
SwfWindow("XY Client  v1.1").SwfWindow("Tickets").SwfObject("50").Click 112,14
WinObject("WindowsForms10.Window.8.app2").Click 12,9

...

Ok, I found a workaroud by using the keyboard instead of the mouse but there has to be a better workaround to handle a WinObject and to be able to select/readout the items

workaround:

Code:

SwfWindow("XY Client  v1.1").SwfWindow("Tickets").SwfObject("50").Click 112,14
SwfWindow("XY Client  v1.1").SwfWindow("Tickets").SwfObject("50").Type  micUp
SwfWindow("XY Client  v1.1").SwfWindow("Tickets").SwfObject("50").Type  micReturn

Hi ,

Yeah,as of now you can continue with your workaround.

As per my understanding , dropdownbox might be a Third Party Control object, since you may be facing the above issue.
But parallelly, i suggest you to raise a ticket with HP support & as per their solution proceed accordingly.

Thx for your replay.

Currently I'm just evaluating the Software as we are in the process to start creating functional regression tests.
So I cannot really open a support ticket I guess

Yes, the DropDownBox is a Custom component and not a standard .Net Object (but it behaves like a typical DropDownBox - don't ask my why they used an own implementation).
