Text on TPanel

Hi all   I am experiencing problem in reading text on TPanel through TC. I can see the text on the panels, but TestComplete doesn’t.   I was wondering if I need to add TPanel under object mapping...

Hi

 

I am unable to ObjectSpy anything else inside the screen, only the frame is highlighted by the objectspy. There is nothing else which exposes the text. Is there a way of exposing the text ?

 

Lot of our reports are generated in this way and I was wondering if there is any workaround to read the text / Thanks

 

Regards

G

Hi,

 

As tristaanogre said TPanel is just a container whereas the elements are developed over the panel

 

  •  Did the application compiled properly with DebugInfoAgent ?
  •  If yes, and do check for the enumerator property from the object browser, you can view the child objects from the TPanel.
  •  Check for "Components" or "Controls" type of properties from the object browser if any such exists look for the associated count properties.
  • If yes, drill into each object using enumeration and print the class names so that the underlying objects can be viewed.
  • Then you can check for the relevant properties and perform operations on them
  • If you've found any class name which matches to the requirement you can add it to the "Text Recognition" under accepted and Extended depending on the requirement.
  • This solves the identification of objects on the TPanel type control

These, were my work-around solutions with my experience over Delphi controls and application.
