The property value i.e. Background, is not being exposed by your application. Hence, this is not being shown in the Object Spy tool.

To expose the property values, speak to your application developers.

    Hi, rraghvani

    Thanks for your response!

    The question is not if the property 'Background' is shown - the question is more how to make the object visible in Testcomplete (and the object tree)?

    The tool 'Snoop' could show the current state of the 'Background' (and the corresponding object) without any problems (see 'Snoop_shows_state_background_property.jpg') - so there is no need to speak to the application developers.

    Furthermore Testcomplete could show states of public and private .net properties. - So how could I find the correct object, which shows this property?

    Kind regards
