Wix and testcomplete
Hello,
Our dev team has recently migrated from WISE installs to Wix. Our functional automation team was very enthusiastic about this because we were under the impression that the object mapping for Wix would utilize CLR and therefore make finding controls easier for us. In the past with WISE we were forced in some cases to map controls based on the label associated with that control. This is because we could not rely on a unique identifier for the control on a given screen during a given installation. Most controls were represented as UIA controls or MSAA controls with no consistent naming. We have browsed the installs now implemented with Wix and the mapping really hasn't changed much. Most controls are still UIA or MSAA. Some members of our group were under the impression that these controls would map to .NET NativeClrObjects. One member claims to have got this to work on a particular machine. As of yet we have not been able to reproduce this.
My question is, is there a way to get these controls to map to NativeClrObjects. Is there something we are missing or were we mistaken that these controls could be represented as NativeClrObjects?
Thanks,
Paul
