Michael,
The Object Spy behaves like a non-modal form, not a panel. It is hidden during the run as it is not typically used at that time. During the test run the Object Spy can be used only if you are debugging your tests. What do you want to keep it open for?
To invoke the Object Spy window faster, you can assign a shortcut to the Object Spy toolbar button:
* Select Tools | Customize Keyboard from TestComplete's main menu.
* In the subsequent dialog, find the Object Browser category in the list on the left.
* Find "Object Spy" in the Commands list on the right.
* Click the "Press new shortcut key" text box.
* Press the desired shortcut on the keyboard.
* Click Apply. TestComplete can ask you to create a new key mapping scheme. Create it. Enter the desired shortcut once again and click Apply again.
* Click OK to save the changes.
