Essentially, what you see on the menu is a list of items.  So, to access an item in the menu, you reference it by Menu.Items() where the parameter passed is the descriptor of the item.

Hi Robert Martin,



Thanks for the reply. But, I'm not only facing the problem with that Menu. I facing the problem with all the controls in the application form. The problem is like, whenever I hover my mouse to any control I want in the application, I'm only able to capture the whole row neither the particular control. I have shown that in the image uploaded. Please find it and help me with this. In all these images, I'm just trying to capture any one control, but what I'm getting is all the whole row.



Thanks,

the same thing holds true.  You're dealing with the MainMenu with a set of items.  You need to capture the menu as you have indicated, but then you interact with the items on the menu.  They are not items you can inspect and capture but an array in a property of the menu object.

Hi,



I tried capturing the menu bar in my application and checked the properties of that menu. The childcount property was '0'. Can you refer me which property should I use to get the menu item value or count value.

And I tried working as given in the example from the link which you have referred. It was also not able to click on that particular menu, instead it was searching for that menu item.

The full name I got when captured the menu is given here. 

"Sys.Process("idea").Window("Afx:*", "IDEA", 1).Window("XTPDockBar", "xtpBarTop", 1).Window("XTPToolBar", "Menu Bar", 11)"



Thanks,

Udhay.

Hi Udhay,



Your tested application seems to use the CodeJock menu and toolbar controls. TestComplete doesn't currently support these controls, but you can achieve better object identification by enabling MSAA for these controls. For this purpose, go to Tools > Current Project Properties > Open Applications > MSAA, add the following class names to the list and select the check box next to them:

XTPDockBar

XTPToolBar



After that, TestComplete should be able to identify and record the individual menu and toolbar items.



By the way, you can vote for adding extended support for CodeJock controls here:

I'd also recommend that you update to the latest version of TestComplete, which is currently 8.70.

Hi Helen Kosova,



Thanks for the reply. Using the way you wrote have worked in my application. This is exactly what I want.
