Unable to select Syncfusion Submenu

Hi,



We have recently bought TestComplete 10, we are in the process of automate Syncfusion 4.2 with .Net



I would like to know how to select Submenu value... i can able to select main menu value using below code


MainForm.mMenuPanel.mXPToolBar.ClickItem("&File")



However, When i try to record the scenario, the submenus are capturing in seperate object... here i don't know how to select specific menu...



SubMenu Objects.....

Aliases.AppX.MenuGridHost.MenuGrid.

    Hi Ashok,

     


    If you separate menu items by | , will it work? For example:


    MainForm.mMenuPanel.mXPToolBar.ClickItem("Item1|Item11|Item112")


     


    If this doesn't help, I suggest that you refer to the "Supported Syncfusion Controls" article, find your menu control and learn the way you can use.

    Ashok,

     


    If you decide to find an alternative solution (as using coordinates isn't very reliable), we can analyze what is going wrong in detail.


    the submenus are capturing in separate object


    Could you please describe what objects are recognized by TestComplete? Does TestComplete identify the submenu as a different window? In this case, please identify its class name via TestComplete's Object Spy.

    Hi Ashok,

     


    You can try using the Object Mapping feature to make TestComplete treat your control as the supported one.


    Another idea is to add the control's class name under the MSAA or UI Automation branch to try using these technologies for the object recognition.
