Testcomplete not recognizing an iframe in a XUL application

Hi ,



We have a XUL application which runs as a separate process and is not embedded into the browser . Testcomplete is able to recognize most of the objects for the XUL process but does not recognize the contents of a tab panel , which contains an iframe , so it does not appear in the DOM.

However if i run the same application in Native mode or browser embedded mode where the application runs as a child process to Firefox browser it is able to indetify the same iframe and its other contents.I tried doing a recording to make sure and noticed it made the clicks inside the iframe depending on its coordinates.



We need to do the automated testing using testcomplete in the XUL application process mode and not in the embedded mode . Is there a workaround for this problem? Are there any settings that can be changed ?

    Hi Kaushik,


    I've consulted our developers, and they say that we haven't expected that users may want to test the XUL applications launched without a browser, so TestComplete could have problems with recognizing some objects in such cases.


    However, it'll be helpful for us if we could reproduce the behavior you described and find a solution for this situation (if it's possible). So, to help us investigate this problem, please contact our Support Team and send them the sample application so that they could use it to reproduce the behavior you described.


    Thanks.
