Hi Everyone,When I try to find objects of a Desktop Application using object spy it doesn't find the objects inside the window. I was able to find some using OCR but wherever the text field appears it doesn't find those.For Example the Comment box to edit/add comments. This is my first time in testing Desktop Application so please help me in finding such objects.Also, i did use VisibleOnScreen option but it returns false. Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Preethi

Hi All, So all i had to do was enable Powerbuilder extension to spy on the objects. The following link helps with that.https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/desktop/power-builder/classic.html. Therefore, once you know the technology that your application is built , we need to enable the extensions .https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/desktop/index.html1420667842.1598476285https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/tutorials/getting-started/first-test/desktop/index.html

Hi,

What technology your tested application is created with? Is it prepared for testing as documented here: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/desktop/index.html ?
