How to enable Mouse Hovering movements in Test Recorder

Is there a setting that I need to turn on in Testcomplete that would enable Test Recorder to record mouse movements like hovering? I see that it is possible to do this for web applications, though have not tested them yet. We have a complex WPF Control application for which most of the objects are getting recorded but in order to select them I need the test to move the mouse over and hover and when the object gets in focus, select the control.



I was hoping Test Recorder can record these user actions, but I need only Drag and Click operations being recorded and it seems such a waste of time manually recording the mouse positions.



Thanks a lot for your time!

    Hi,



    TC settings don't affect the way TestRecorder works, so there's no way to do anything in it by modifying something in TC.



    As for recording mouse moving and hovering, these actions can be recorded only for certain objects (such as web drop-down menus which don't work otherwise). For other objects, only actions such as clicks or keystrokes are recorded.

    Jared, I want to refer you to Smart Bear announcement regarding this issue.

    Hover Mouse. 

    Declared, that Hover event calls to the HoverMouse method in case of dynamic web control or menu. In fact, it doesn't happen.
