Is it possible to create automated tests of Selectize drop downs in Testcomplete?

Question

We are updating our online services.&nbsp;&nbsp;These services are&nbsp;both browser based and mobile based. &nbsp;Any lists that were currently in a standard drop down box are now being converted to use Selectize.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We want to update our current automated Testcomplete tests to&nbsp;execute against the drop downs using Selectize.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;I have not had any luck recording a keyword test or coding a script that will select data from a drop down using Selectize.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have two questions, 1.&nbsp;Is&nbsp;Testcomplete compatible with Selectize? &nbsp;2. Is there any documentation related to automated testing of Selectize in Testcomplete?&nbsp;Thank you for any help.

Hi,
&nbsp;
Given that Selectize is just another jQuery-based custom control (http://selectize.github.io/selectize.js/), the answer is : yes, it can be controlled with TestComplete.
See also amazing description by Lino about custom web controls: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Functional-Web/TestComplete-9-3-Does-it-support-kendoUI/m-p/81168#M17730
&nbsp;
The opposite side of all fancy stuff done using jscript in Selectize is that you will have to manually investigate control on TestComplete's Object Browser to learn how to expand and collapse it, how to select the value and how to get the currently selected value. This is the price you must pay for the decision to use non-standard customized stuff.
