Hi, We have a desktop application which has embedded web pages with Object Type as Page. Which worked fine in Test Complete 14. Now while migrating to Test Complete 15 the embedded web pages which used to be shown as Internet Explorer object are displaying as an Edge object since Test Complete 15 doesn't support IE. I've attached the screenshot in which it is possible to see the spied object but the visible property is set to false and unable to get the expected properties which was available in TC14. Also you could see in the screen shot that the visible property is set as false even when the spied object is present in the screen. It would be helpful if anyone who came across this Issue and was able to find any solution.

Make sure you are on TC 15.52 - the earlier 15 releases had some problems with web testing.

I'm using the same TC 15.52 and it's still not working. This Issue occurs only when I spy embedded web pages which are under explorer process. Able to spy page objects if it's for any other process. Is there any dependency or setting which should be added?

I actually missed to mention it's a Desktop application. In which some popups are handled as embedded web pages.

Your application is most likely restricting access or not exposing the embedded control.

  Process name of the application is "explorer", which might be the reason I'm unable to spy the elements. The subjected Object Type was developed as an older html page. Could it be the reason?

It's been a while, but from what I remember, Internet Explorer process is called iexploer.exe. I guess TC still supports IE.

  We are currently using TC 14.0 version. SmartBear started support for Edge elements from 14.1 and we are facing the aboe Issue starting from version 14.1. https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/general-info/version-history/features-added-to-ver-14-10.html#new-supported-versions-and-contr Is there any solution to make IE elements compatible for Desktop application in latest versions of Test Complete - TC15 and above. Also please let me know if there are any other possible way to interact with Page Objects in Desktop applications
