Delphi - Issue with VCL controls (grid/listboxes) if runtime packages included

We need to automate a delphi application that will have debug information stored externally and runtime package option selected.


As per Test Complete recommendations this option should be unchecked, if we select this option then we have to make changes to Default project properties. Selected all the 3 options (http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/12321/)



Even after trying this option we are unable to access the grid control properties like wviewcount(). Please find the attached screen shot for more details.



Does anyone have a different solution for this?

  • Hello Nilesh,





    Please note that the configuration changes must be made to your existing TestComplete project, not to the default project options.





    The changes made to the default project options will affect only the newly created projects, but not the existing projects.





    So, make sure the "Read debug information for statically linked libraries" option is enabled for your current project, and check how the property works.
  • Tried the above mentioned option but still facing same issue.



    Is there any way we can setup a call to discuss this in more detail.

    Hi Nilesh,



    Please try this and see if it resolves your issue:

    * Upgrade TestComplete to the latest version - 8.70.

    * Double-check that the application is compiled according to the instructions in TestComplete's documentation. You can find links to instructions for various Delphi versions here:

    http://smartbear.com/support/viewarticle/12507/#Implementing

    Also, try building the application with all optimizations disabled.

    * Make sure that the .TDS files containing debug information are in the same folder as the application's corresponding binary modules.



    If the issue persists, we would like to investigate it further on our side. In this case, please reply to your support ticket M0094173 with the following information:

    * DevExpress components version,

    * Delphi compiler version,

    * a sample Delphi project that demonstrates the issue (or better yet, your tested application, if that's possible - note that we can sign an NDA).
