Are you sure the WndCaption doesn't contain some sort of invisible control character thats causing this?
If you remove WndCaption as an identification property, does it still happen?

Unbeliavble, it doesn't happen once I remove the WndCaption from the Name Mapping properites.
What do you mean by invisible control character? I'd just like to understand what was going on a little better.
But in any case thank you for the response :)
Edit: Ah a non printing character, why would that happen?
Heh.
You mentioned it's a VCL desktop app? Welcome to the wierd and wonderful world of Delphi. (Assume it's coded using Delphi?)
I've hit similar things. Empty cells returning CHR(13) (<RETURN>) from grid controls and so on. In case you hit it eventually, I don't know if it's just our devs, but inside a MemoBox control, tilde (~) is their "new line" character (I use a single wrapper function to handle all types of TextBox in the app - including MemoBox). Plenty other oddities I've run into but most of them are custom alterations or uses of controls and I have helpful devs on hand to explain what they're up to.
I do recall having to strip out CHR(10)'s and CHR(13)'s in a few places when using Delphi controls. Not in the office today so can't check exactly where .....
Yah its coded in Delphi and C++, the joys!
I guess it will be a long process to get used to all the oddities of Delphi and TestComplete. There's been so many already its been hard to progress as quickly as I would have liked to.
Unfortunately I don't have many Developers that are willing to spend some time helping!
Thanks a lot for the help :)
