AA manage Window Controls Can't find text box

[philkryder]

I have a small sample AA task:


1 Comment: try using MANAGE WINDOW CONTROLS
2 Set Text of Textbox in Window : "*Activity Log Entry*" Text : "this is a test"

The Editor was able to Capture this control.

But,
when I play it back to try to put the text into the control,
the task times out,
and
I receive the message:
Unable to find 'Text Box' control.
An error occurred at line 2 ....

I will attach the web page source as a ZIP of a text file.

Hello Phil,

Please let us know if the window on which the "manage window control" command is being used is a webpage or an application.

Thanks & Regards

IE 8 web page.

I have other AA code that
does TAB and ENTER other KEYstrokes.
It can find the window.

Hello Phil,

It will be really helpful if you can attach both the scripts here. We want to take a look at them.
Please let us know.

Thanks & Regards

What do you need exactly?

Hello Phil,

Let us know if:
"Activating the window" *Activity Log Entry*
before:
"Set Text of Textbox in Window : "*Activity Log Entry*" Text : "this is a test"
helps.

Thanks & Regards

again,
can you give me any reason why I would ACTIVATE a window which is already open?

I'm concerned that I will get errors that AA can't find the window to activate....
