Hi Steven,
You have asked so many questions in a row in 3 different forums on 3 different applications, but it looks like they all have the same root problem. I am answering only here, but this answer is for all your questions.
1. The reason why TestComplete doesn't recognize objects inside your application is most probably because your application was not prepared as it required. This is what you need to do:
- first, you need to know the platform/environment which was used for creating your tested application (e.g. Delphi, c++, flash, etc.)
- after that select the type of the application here and read carefully Preparing section (pay attention, for some application types the version is also important, the preparing instructions may differ)
- most probably this will solve all or most your questions :)
2. If your application type isn't listed in the page I mentioned above, ask on the forum here whether or not TestComplete supports it. You'll need to operate with screen coordinates or text recognition only if your application isn't supported by TestComplete.
3. As I understand, you have just started using TestComplete, tried Record & Play for desktop, web and mobile apps, and came here for help. I suggest that you start learning TestComplete by testing just one app type (desktop or web), do not try to master everything in one day. TestComplete has great help system (both internal and online), there are also many videos available, try them first to get a general understanding of how to use TestComplete.
P.S. TestComplete has abilities to recognize text on the screen (link in your case) or search for an image (your question about desktop icon). But these approaches should be used only if everything else doesn't work, they are more difficult and slow. So please, try to follow my suggestions first.
P.P.S. for those, who still remember me - I'm back :)
Thank you for your reply.
As the lack of knowledge about the platform/environment.
I cannot judge what kind of platforms of the application independently.
I will try to study as your suggestion.
Thank you very much.
