Chrome Legacy Windows objects not visible with recording in a "desktop" application.

Question

The "desktop" application I'm automating switched from using Java objects to Chrome Legacy Windows object.When I record a scenario it only contains Click coordinates (which is not acceptable). I used the object spy to see if I could gain more information about an object (button) but I couldn't grab the object. The object spy could only grab the entire window.
I can't request assistance from the developers since they are in a different organization.
TestComplete version= 12.50.4142.7 x64- TestComplete 12 Platform- TestComplete 12 Desktop Module- TestComplete 12 Web Module -with required plug-ins
Provided 3 attachments:chrome issue_installed extensionschrome issue_object via object spychrome issue_properties displayed in object spy
Please advise on how I can capture of object's id information.
Kind regards,Kim

Hi,
&nbsp;
Another thing that you may try is to add window class of this Chrome window to the MSAA&nbsp;classes list in the project properties. Though I am also not sure about the result...&nbsp;
