Using TestComplete to detect GUI Framework Grit

Hi,



we are using a very old GUI framework called Grit.



Is there a posibility i.e. with TestComplete SDK to write our own GUI object detection for Grit? AFAIK TestComplete SDK at this time only support .NET extensions.



Or is there another way to get rid of not common GUI framework like Grit?



As attachment you see the not detectable Grit GUI.



Thx.

    Having searched the web a bit for "Grit GUI" and such, I've gotten hits on many different tools and subjects; I'm assuming it's not the Ruby library... Can you provide some more information about "Grit"?



    - What platform? Win, web, .net, etc.

    - What development tool/language is your app created in?

    - Who's product is "Grit"?



    In the meantime you may want to examine the concept of "Object Mapping" in TestComplete.



    Thanks,

    Hi,



    Grit was created by GFT Technologies in 1990 and went "open source" in 2001. It is not supported anymore by GFT and is only available at ftp.gft.com for anonymous ftp. Its hard to find something about it on the net, a small sentence at the German wikipedia page:

    http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFT_Technologies



    Our application is a windows application. Old GUI elements are in Grit, new elements are in Qt.



    I will examine "Object Mapping" -- thx.



    The other ways to go is extending Grit C++ classes with MS UI Automation or MS Active Accessibility. Is my assumption here right?
