How to recognize object and record the test

Here I am not able to record. because what ever I am trying to do it is recording as 

FrameShawFrame and clicks on certain points for each and every action I am doing on this screen.

Can you please guide me how to record this in test complete.

    Yeah... at this point, it looks like you're not going to be able to identify the contents as is... the frame is masking what's going on internally.  

    So... couple of options.

     

    1) Text Recognition - Under Tools | Current Project Properties | Open Applications | Text Recognition, add that "class" of object to the list.  TestComplete will then create objects based upon text on screen that are then clickable.  

    2) OCR - If you have the license for it, you can use the built in AI OCR to find and execute actions against objects.

    If that FrameSHawFrame is an iFrame, there may be some difficulties in doing a recorded test against it.  I've had issues with TestComplete recognizing components internally in an iFrame.

     

    Alternatively... that component, FrameShawFrame, may be an unsupported component type for TestCOmplete and it may not recognize it's internal contents.  If you can get a screenshot of the OBject Browser showing the frame and an ObjectSpy giving the properties of it, that would be helpful.

      Please find attached Object Spy and Object browser as Requested.

      Looks like for each and every object it is not recognizing diffrently as I can see whole page is selected for each and every action.

      Can you please provide your expert opinion if there is any way to record this test.

    I suggest starting here:

    https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/web/general/about.html

     

    And about halfway down that page you will find a helpful table:
