Why TestComplete cannot detect object to enter credentials on windows security popup of mstsc

Resolution:

Capture Windows security popup as Edge browser object, and bring focus of Testcomplete to Windows security pop up

Code extract:

    vProcess = Sys.Process("mstsc");

    mProcess = Sys.Browser("edge").Login;   // windows security window when user clicks connect button on mstsc

    //machine name

    exestatus = mvObjects.enterEditText(vProcess, "Window(\"Edit\", \"\", 1)", machine_to_connect,exestatus);

     //more options link

    exestatus = mvObjects.buttonClick(vProcess, "Name", "Window(\"ToolbarWindow32\", \"\", 1)",exestatus);

    Sys.Desktop.Keys("[Tab]");

    //username

    exestatus = mvObjects.Fullnametext(vProcess, "*Window(\"#32770\", \"General\", 1).Window(\"#32770\", \"Credentials\", 1).Window(\"Edit\", \"\", 1)",username,exestatus);

    //click connect button

      exestatus = mvObjects.buttonClick(vProcess, "Name", "Window(\"Button\", \"Co&nnect\", 3)",exestatus);

    exestatus = mvObjects.objectFocusClickMstsc(mProcess, "WndCaption","Windows Security",exestatus);

     Sys.Desktop.Keys(password);

Function:

function objectFocusClickMstsc(searchProcess, propertyName, findObject,exestatus) {

if (equal(exestatus,true)) {

      control = searchProcess.Find(propertyName, findObject, 1000);

      if (control.Exists) {

            control.SetFocus();

            control.click();

     Log.CheckPoint("Button is focused on '"+ findObject+"' and  clicked.");

      } else {

            Log.Error("objectFocusClick","The object was not found. objectHover function. object: " + findObject);

    exestatus = false;

      }

  }

else {

  Log.Message("objectFocusClick","The action is skipped since the execution status is set as '"+exestatus+"'");

  }

  return exestatus; 

} // objectFocusClick
