"Object not visible" when running desktop link

[RandomGrin]

Hey all,

Spent hours Googling this one...

I record the running of my app from the desktop link (either double click, or right-click -> Run, doesn't matter), and I get:

Code:

Window("Program Manager").WinListView("SysListView32").Activate "ACO"

When I run it, I get, 'Object not visible' on that line.

I have gone to Tools -> Object Identification -> Mandatory Properties and set Visible for Window and for WinListView.

I have re-recorded it multiple times.

I am new to QTP, so I may be doing something stupid...but I also made sure the object was in the Object repository, and seems to be associated w/it as far as I can tell.

Tried everything I can find on Google, they mostly talk about pop up windows having this problem.

I have the latest patches, at least according to Help-> HP Update. QTP 11.00 Windows 7 Pro.

Thanks for any help,

Mark

Hi,

If u want to run the application then instead of recording the double click on ur application shortcut just include the statement
Systemutil.run(path of exe your application)

I hate to leave problems unresolved....but that's a good work-around, I'll take it, thanks!
