When i'm recording a silverlight test, TestsComplete becomes very slow. If i type text in a textbox, it takes a few seconds before its actually entered. This is when i'am using the Silverlight ...

Hi Patrick,
The fact is that when you record a load test, TestComplete captures only the sent traffic and received responses. However, when you record a functional test, there is much more metrics captured and saved to the project. The main difference is that when you record a keyword test, TestComplete saves screenshots of the application by default (these images are shown in the Visualizer panel after the recording is over). This process takes some time, and that's why, the recording may slow down a bit.
So, turning off the Visualizer during the recording should improve the performance. To do this:
1. Switch to the Project Explorer panel (you can make it visible by selecting View | Project Explorer from TestComplete's main menu).
2. In the Project Explorer, right-click your project and select Edit | Properties from the context menu. This will open the project properties for editing.
3. In the project editor, select Visualizer from the tree of property groups. TestComplete will display the settings on the right of the editor.
4. Clear the Use Test Visualizer during recording check box.
Does this help?
