Keyboard strokes are not recorded

Question

I am recording a test for a desktop application (made with NET) but when I finish the recording and TestComplete shows the list of recorded steps, I see that the texts entered with the keyboard were not recorded. Does anyone know why this happens?

Can you insert a SetText for that box in your test and does that work?&nbsp; &nbsp;Here's an example.

Not that this is the fix you need, but I'd like to see if TC responds to the box that way.

Like I said, that's not the fix, but it gives you more clues.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I think at this point you should go ahead and contact Support directly.&nbsp; Here's the link:

Let's see a screenshot of your test log where the text should be.&nbsp;&nbsp;

ok, this is the window I'm testing, there's a text box where I'm typing something like "Simple v131"

but, TestComplete is not recording the typed text, only the previous click on the box

and this happens for any text I type in any text box control...

I actually tried that option and yes, it works. But, I don't know, I feel like that option and coding the test are the same thing. There would be no real advantage in recording user actions...
