Hi Mauricio, Assuming that you use the map file that you sent me, I think your setcontext() call should look like         setcontext ('PDF Viewer', 'python.pdf') The point to note here is that the first parameter should always be the value of the "label" field for that window name in the map file.

Look the snippet of code below: setcontext('advanced-linux-programming.pdf', 'python.pdf') wait(1) selectmenuitem('frmadvanced-linux-programming', 'mnuView;mnuZoomIn') releasecontext() The selectmenuitem() keeps selecting the menu item of first window (with title advanced-linux-programming.pdf ). It is not changing the control to the second one (with title python.pdf). Any idea? My current solution is to map both windows in a map file.

Though each file is opened in a separate window, the map of the window is going to be common. Hence you can use setcontext() to select windows based on the label. FYI, the two arguments you have to pass to setcontext are    i. the first parameter is the value corresponding to the attribute "label" present in the map file in the entry corresponding to the name of the window itself.        For example, consider you have the following entries in  the map file,             [frmWindow1]              frmWindow1={class=frame,parent="application-name",label="New Window"}      In the above case, "New Window" is the string i was referring to as the first parameter    ii. The second parameter should be the new label that is present in the title bar of the window at runtime. The basic idea is to have a single map file, and then use setcontext() to select the required window among all the available windows based on its current label. Please make sure to do releasecontext() after every setcontext() usage. If you have any clarifications, please let me know, I will do my best to make them straight.
