Hi,



   I am planing to automate the my application with TestComplete.I have downloaded trail version of TC.



   But TC is not supporting application controls.



   Application is developed in VB  with Infragistics4.1,Crystal Reports.



  Can you please let me know is there any patch or third party tool for supporting above controls using TC.



  Please do the needful.



Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,



    If the control you need to work with is not supported, use its native properties and methods to work with it. These are properties an methods added to your control by its developers. They allow you to work with the target objects in the same way you'd do this in your application.

    Hi,



       Thanks for the reply.



       Here My case is , TC is identifying the entire window as a single control. So I think Native properties option will not the solution.



       Please check the screen shot attached.



       Please do the needful.



    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,



    Native properties and methods allow accessing data of the target control in cases similar to yours. Enable the advanced view mode (see the "Basic and Advanced View Modes" help topic) and look at your control's properties. What properties do you see?

    Hi ,



       I have checked the all the options which you have mentioned. I have verified the advanced view properties also, but no properties are showing   infomation about child objects related to that main window control.



       My application is developed with the following controls.

     

    1.       Crystal Reports


    2.       Visual Studio 6


    3.       Visual Studio SP6


    4.       Infragistics


            a.       NetAdvantage41.exe


    5.       TextControl



       We are interested to buy the TC product if you are can provide support(patch) for above controls.



       Please let me know if you have any queries.


    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,



    In this case, try enabling MSAA for your control ('pvResultsPane') and check whether this exposes its children (see the "Using Microsoft Active Accessibility" help topic). If this doesn't help, you can try using Text Recognition (see the "Using Text Recognition Technology" help topic).
