TC 8 trial, not able to select items from dropdown list in delphi app.

Hi, I have to check if this tool is fit for our testing needs. I have a problem with selecting/identifying items from the dropdown list (TIB_LookupList) of our delphi app. I recorded the test and now I want to change the test so that there are no coordinates given for the selected items but I don't manage to get a good result. Please write me a few solutions others than using Keys simple or with variables/tables. Thanks!

    Hi Magda,





    Most probably, it means that the items are not present as individual controls and are drawn inside the control's window instead. However, please note that TestComplete provides special support for many popular controls (see the "Supported Controls" help topic (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle/11504/) for more information). If the control you are using is not specially supported by TestComplete but is derived from one of the supported controls, you can use the Object Mapping feature to make TestComplete treat the control as a supported one (see the "Object Mapping" help topic (http://www.automatedqa.com/support/viewarticle/11156/) for more information). If this suggestion does not help either, please compile the tested application as Open with debug information (see the "Open Applications - Overview" and "Debug Info Agent" help topics for more information) and try working with the toolbar by using its native methods and properties.
