I have tried aqObject.CheckProperty(TestedApps.App,"Exists",cmpEqual, false); 

this obviously doesn't work and I didn't expect it to. I can't think of any other way and there is nothing I can find on it in TestComplete documentation.

    There's an example shown in TestedApp Object, which checks the existence of the application.

      thank you, I need a hard assertion. so that the test passes or fails. I can do what the app is open as I can check for an object on the screen. But I'm struggling to assert that it is closed.

        In the example shown, p.Exists value will either be true (application exist) or false (application does not exist). Use the appropriate method of aqObject to perform the check
