Unable to spy all elements in java mode

[srirammuthukris]

While we were trying to spy controls on windows based java system(3rd party product), we face issues in a pop up window. In the main window, we could identify and highlight controls. In the pop up window(getting invoked from main screen) we could identify controls using java mode. However in the pop up window, we couldnt Highlight the same as it returns error saying "No matching java elements found". We tried using "Identify using open application navigator. In application navigator, we couldnt find controls from the pop up screen. Pls advise.

Maybe try attaching to the pop up in a separate object?

Also... there are those decendtree and ignorenotshowing settings mentioned in the Java guide?

Thanks Denis. I tried seperate object with decendtree and ignorenotshowing settings. However it still doesnt resolve.

Sounds like Surface Automation all the way then..!

Even if you can spy Java elements, for sake of speed Surface usually is faster and more reliable option.
