I was able to automate the download bar/pop up for Firefox, IE and Chrome.  However, I'm unable to access the download bar for Edge with TestComplete.

What happens when you try?  Screenshots would help us a lot.

is this supported? I already followed the steps on "Preparing Edge for web testing". Is there an extra step i need to follow? For chrome, I had to add a window name under Open Applications -> MSAA. Do I need to do the same for Edge?

Did you try adding a window name?  What happened?

    Hi Marsha,

    1. When I try to spy on the download bar, it highlights the entire Page panel. And when I try the navigation bar (url) it highlights the entire browser window. I believe these elements should be children under BrowserWindow(0), but they don't come up:



    2. I don't know what is the window name for Edge. I tried using the value from WndClass (Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow) but that didnt work. Below are the properties I get for BrowserWindow(0) in the Object Browser:

    Thanks
