Recognizing on-screen controls in Adobe Illustrator

Hello,

 

We need to automate a workflow where we open one of our files in Adobe Illustrator and then change some properties and re-save the file.

 

I am on TC 11.3 and all the items in the menu and the pop-up windows are being captured without any issues however; none of the buttons in the dockable windows are being recognized. This is very important to our workflow. I tried changing the MSAA settings (checked the * box) but it didn't help. Other controls within the window are identified with class names like OWL.Dock, OWL.TabPane etc..

 

Questions:

 

1. Has anyone created automated scripts in TestComplete for Adobe Illustrator desktop application?

2. What changes in project properties will be needed to recognize controls?

3. Does anyone know whether TestComplete supports the framework used in Adobe desktop products?

 

I have attached a screenshot showing the highlighted part of the window using Object Spy. I need to be able to check/uncheck and click on the individual tools in the bottom-right side of the window.

 

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

 

- GJ
