Object Spy from TC 8.7 Project has no access

Andreas,

Thank you for the details and screenshots.

According to your screenshots, in your earlier project you are using MSAA to expose the tested application's controls. In your newer project using MSAA for exposing controls is disabled (by default).

To enable exposing controls with MSAA in your newer project, please follow the instructions below:

1. Right-click your newer project in Project Explorer and select Edit | Properties in the context menu.

2. In the list to the left of the ensuing Properties page, select Open Applications | MSAA.

3. Click Add and add the classes of controls you want to expose with MSAA to the list of accepted windows (you can view the list of needed classes in your earlier project). Enable the check boxes to the right of the added class.

4. Save the changes.

If you want to use MSAA for exposing controls in all projects you create, you need to modify Default Project Properties.

To do that, please select Tools | Default Project Properties from TestComplete's main menu and then select Project | Open Applications | MSAA from the tree to the left of the ensuing dialog.

Add the desired classes to the list and click OK to save the changes.

To learn more about using MSAA in TestComplete, please see the Using Microsoft Active Accessibility Help topic.

Please let us know if that does not help or if you need any more assistance.

Thank you.
