hi
i am trying to automate an application
at the start its web based application and after clicking on a tab it opens another application which looks like java kind
I am able to record actions on 1st app/parent app which is web based but when i try to record something on its child app /look like java app then it does not record anything on that (on spying the objects it coming as one window)
i have used JAVA and WEB Addin both

aftr doing View source on parent app/web based app it gives me text for that tab as below :
["Tab Clicked","servlet/GuiDispatcher",true,false,false],

could you please help me in getting the objects recognized for this child app

Hi,

Try this,

1 Open QTP, Go to Automation(menu)--> Record and run settings
- Select "Record and Run on any Java based application" radio button in Java Tab
- Select "Record and Run on any web based application" radio button in web Tab

2. Save the current test , close and open qtp again.
3. Open the application and try to spy the application.

If the above steps does not help, try this only in case if the child app looks like a client based application(below steps are not for web application)
1. Go to Start --> Program files -> Quick Test Prof --> Tools -> Register New Browser Control
2. Browser and select the exe file of the application.
3. try to spy the application now.
