TestComplete is a tool that is designed around interacting, primarily, with the UI to perform tests. So, the first thing I would suggest is to do a quick "record" of the specific task to see how TestComplete interacts with the component. Now, a caveat... i would not KEEP that recording without making edits, updates, changes to make it more robust and "bullet proof", but that is a starting point. It will give you.
1) How TestComplete recognizes the control
2) A generation of an initial NameMapping of the control
3) A rough code representation of the UI interaction.
Have you tried this yet? If so, what specific problems are you running into?

Why automate? I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy. Sleep is a requirement. So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.
I love good food, good books, good friends, and good fun.
