QTP 11 recognizes Powerbuilder 12.5 objects as Windows objects

I’m automating an Powerbuilder 12.5 app. I’ve applied all of the different patches to QTP 11, but when I object spy the powerbuilder app, QTP still recognizes the objects as (for example):
Window("Window").Window("Application Logon").PbDataWindow("PbDataWindow")

Shouldn’t QTP return PbWindow("Window").PbWindow("Application Logon").PbDataWindow("PbDataWindow")?

Can you list what patches you have installed? QTP has release patch QTPPB_00034 - Support for PowerBuilder 12.5 Applications

Have you run a repair to QTP [(See this link for procedure)][1]?

Installed patch QTPPB_0034. Didn't seem to do anything. I followed the instructions on the link. Nothing has changed.

I found out the issue. With QTP open...if I opened the app, QTP would only recognize the objects as Windows objects not PowerBuilder objects. If I run the System.Util Run line to open the app, then QTP will recognize all of the PowerBuilder objects. I don't know if that's normal. Maybe I installed a patch wrong or something, but that's where I am. It works if I allow QTP to open the app. Have you ever heard of something like that?

Check in Automation->Record and Run Settings if it's configured to work only on apps opened by QTP. If so, then the behavior you've decribed is normal.
