Applies to TestComplete 12.60, last modified on September 17, 2018

This example demonstrates how you can operate application menus from scripts. It activates the Open File dialog within the Notepad application, which must be running.

JavaScript, JScript

function TestProc()
{
  var p, w;

  p = Sys.Process("notepad");
  w = p.Window("Notepad", "*");

  if (w.Exists)
    w.MainMenu.Click("File|Open...");
}

Python

def TestProc():
  
  p = Sys.Process("notepad")
  w = p.Window("Notepad", "*")

  if (w.Exists):
    w.MainMenu.Click("File|Open...")

VBScript

Sub TestProc
  Dim p, w

  Set p = Sys.Process("notepad")
  Set w = p.Window("Notepad", "*")

  If w.Exists Then
    w.MainMenu.Click("File|Open...")
  End If
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure TestProc;
var p, w : OleVariant;
begin
  p := Sys.Process('notepad');
  w := p.Window('Notepad', '*');

  if w.Exists then
    w.MainMenu.Click('File|Open...');
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function TestProc()
{
  var p, w;

  p = Sys["Process"]("notepad");
  w = p["Window"]("Notepad", "*");

  if (w["Exists"])
    w["MainMenu"]["Click"]("File|Open...");
}
