Unable to find Objects inside the main application

Question

Hi,I am using Test Complete ver. 11.31.2420.7 which is not able to recognize objects that are within the application under test.Below are few objects, how they are recognised by Test Complete at the moment.&nbsp;Unable to allocate a specific string is recognized only panel.The problem is analogous to the situation described in the last comment (https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-General-Discussions/Unable-to-find-Objects-inside-the-main-application/td-p/95584/page/2).&nbsp;The programming language - delphi&nbsp;Could anyone help me out with this issue? Please let me know if you need any more information.

Nope. Not in Delphi-land! It's certainly not a traditional style TreeView. Don't think ClickItem will work for this one.

There are some tips here: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Functional-Web/Delphi-VCL-Object-TStatusBar-and-TVirtualStringTree-TChart/td-p/70894

Looks like a typically horrible to work with Delphi control going by that! :smileyvery-happy:

I think I'm having a flashback... I've worked with TVirtualStringTree components before and, yes, there isn't necessarily a "ClickItem" method that will work on them... &nbsp;the data that is displayed is not displayed as items in the tree but there's an underlying data layer at work. &nbsp;We had to do a combination of doing some Object Mapping work as well as working with some of the exposed native methods of the object. &nbsp;So, yeah... do the Object &nbsp;Mapping as&nbsp;Colin_McCrae&nbsp;linked to and start exploring around some of the other methods and properties. &nbsp;What you'll end up with is a helper function that you'll call anywhere in your automation to work with that tree view.

I maybe wrong since I'm not used to work with this type of AUT.

But the concept for some of the objects, Lets say you have Object type as Tree.

If you try to capture the Tree object, It would won't capture each and every tree item in the Tree object. It capture the Tree object and we can able to click the Tree items using the functions like ClickTreeItem().

So, the same way in your scenario try to find some functions which can help you.

Hi,
&nbsp;
Can you show how your panel is presented in Object Browser? What properties are accessible to you?&nbsp;
