In essence TestComplete cannot operate against a C++ application unless RTTI or external Debug has been enabled at point of compile?

\nIf debug information for C/C++ application is absent then TestComplete can access only those objects (windows) that are exposed by the operating system. The same windows can be seen in, say, Spy++.
\nWith debug information been accessible, TestComplete can access internal objects of the tested application much like debugger does.
\nDepending on the given tested application, the following options are possible in case debug information is absent:
\n-- Use keyboard shortcuts to trigger this or that function and/or activate this or that field/control (e.g.: <mainWindow>.Keys('^S') to call Save As dialog);
\n-- Image-based testing;
\n-- Coordinate-based testing;
\n-- Text recognition technology (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/object-identification/text-recognition/about.html).
