Object spy freezes and unresponsive when recognizing checkbox in IE11

Everytime I try to hover the object spy over a checkbox in IE11 TC freezes and becomes unresponsive.  They only way to recover is to close the tested application hence IE explorer. 



When the web page contains lesser elements the object spy works fine e.g. 4 rows with 8 columns, but the issue happens when the page contains a lot of ements e.g. 512 rows with 8 columns. 



The web page is built by frames, tables, panel and cells. 



Issue also happens when trying to find the object using Object Browser. Whenever I traverse all the way down the object path to find the Checkbox TC just becomes very slow and almost unresponsive. As soon as I collapse the Object Browser tree then TC becomes responsive again. 



I have tried all the Performence tips suggested by TC but did not seem to help. 



I am using Windows 7 Ulti 64bit. Dell Precision T3500 Xeon @2.8GHz with 6GB Ram.

    Hi All,



    More specifically, I am trying to find a cell within the webpage. The cell is always there and it's properties are static, but due to the nature of the webpage was constructed with a lot of elements in the page, TC somehow is having trouble locating the object.  I added a 2 minute WaitChild method to the parent object but no improvements. Sometimes TC can find the object but other times not, and the code are exactly the same. 



    It looks like TC (10.20.953.7) is having trouble finding the object consistently. Is there a way to speed up updating TC's object tree?



    ...

    var browser = Sys.Browser("iexplore").Page( lcuURL + "Main.htm"); 

    var table = browser.Frame("content_frame").Panel("gbox_PresetsGrid").Panel("gview_PresetsGrid").Panel(2).Panel(0).Table("PresetsGrid");

    var cellbox = table.Cell(2, 8);     <--  Sometimes this object can be found, sometimes not.  I am unsure why. 



    Thanks.

    Hi Douglas,

     


    I've found that you were chatting with our TestComplete Customer Care team regarding this. They suggested disabling the UI Automation technology in your project. Does this solve the performance issue?
