DevExpress RibbonControl object not recognising some item clicks

Hello,

 

I use Test Complete on a desktop app that used the DevExpress ribbControl object to navigate around the application. 

 

I am able to click on items on the ribbonControl object by using the following code:

 

Aliases["Spry"]["Main"]["ribbonControl"]["ClickItem"]("Home|Data|Table Data");

 

This will click on the "Table Data" button.

 

The problem happens for some reason, when I click certain buttons, it just gives me the following code instead of something similar to the one above.

 

Aliases["Spry"]["Main"]["ribbonControl"]["Click"](572, 123);

 

I get that when I should be receiving something like :

 

Aliases["Spry"]["Main"]["ribbonControl"]["ClickItem"](Home|Clipboard|Paste);

 

Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to post any screenshots/GIF recordings.

 

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    Just in case, have you tried with the object windowsclass of the ribbon stored in the MSAA list ? (Project\Properties\Open application)

      Thank you,

       

      Yes, adding the object WndClass to the Open Application MSAA settings did fix my issue with button recognition. 

       

      It also solved some other issues I was having with test complete not recognizing buttons on a DevExpress popup menu.
