    You would need to change the name within the object mapper to



    "wndWindowsForms10Window8app033c0d9d*"  That way no matter what the last digit is, the object will remain the same.

Hi all,



Unfortunately, all suggestions above seems to be wrong.



This problem is specific for TestComplete 7.52, it doesn't recognize .NET controls correctly after installing a certain Windows Update.



There are 2 ways to solve this problem:

1. Upgade to a higher TestComplete version

2. Ask support team for patch. Previously this path was available for downloading, but after TC 8 had been released, the patch was removed. But I'm sure you can get it by asking support team.



Without this patch you will not be able working with .NET application correctly (controls are recognized as Windows, not WinFormsObject)
