Object spy crashes application

When I try to inspect the TCustomActionPopupMenuEx component in TestComplete using Object Spy, my application crashes. It works fine on Windows 10, but the issue occurs on Windows 11."

I did a little digging with AI.  Is your tested app written in Delphi?  If so, which version of Delphi is being used?  Check the link below to ensure support.

You could attempt to work around the problem by not using the spy on this component.  If you can find the closest unique parent object you could use the findchild method to reference and automate the interaction with the component with the .keys method.

I agree with Hassan_Ballan​,  you should likely open a support case.  👍

    Hi scot1967,

    Please find the attached recording. When I try to spy on the Actions menu, my entire application crashes.

      Your recording didn't post.  It sounds like an upgrade issue though. If so drop a note to support and let us know. It would be greatly appreciated!
