How can I make a GUI test focus on and the same time continue working with my PC?

I understand that Two users cannot work on the same machine at the same time, and Test Compleate interacts with GUI in the way a user wo开发者_开发技巧uld do.But probably there is some way to solve this problem?

I don't know Test Complete so I can't say anything about workarounds specific to this product (that may well exist!), but one option is always to set up Virtual Machines and run the tests in there. Some of the most popular virtual machines (they all have free editions) are Virtualbox, VMWare and Microsoft Virtual PC.

try UI Automation (MS UIAutomation library or UiAutomation PowerShell module, for example), it frequently pulls the AUT to the foreground. Moreover, it has the abiblity to set the focus (AutomationElement.SetFocus(), Set-UIAFocus).
