Is this a desktop or web application? Are you using script or keyword test? Have you just tried with "Sophie"?

Hi,

Can you provide a code snippet that you use to enter data in the field?

I am just guessing that read-only control might become enabled when human user focuses it.

For example, control.Keys("Sophie") might not work, but

control.Click(); // this will, for example, replace read-only label with editable text-box

parentControl.Keys("Sophie"); // control cannot be used as it was destroyed, but its parent might exist and can be used

might appear to work.

Thank you for reply

It is not a web app but desktop appl

here are the steps : 

Aliases.JANUA_UI_WPF.HwndSource_MainWindow.ClickItem
Aliases.JANUA_UI_WPF.HwndSource_MainWindow.ClickItem.SetText"Sophie"

Aliases.JANUA_UI_WPF.HwndSource_MainWindow.ClickItem.Keys"[Enter]"

It is a keyword test 

I type this

TextBox SetText "Sophie" Enters the text 'Sophie' in the 'TextBox' text editor.

I accept as a solution but it is a mistake, I don't know how to remove

It is a keyword test and  I type this :

TextBox SetText "Sophie" Enters the text 'Sophie' in the 'TextBox' text editor.

Use the Object Spy tool to spy on First Name edit box and create a name mapping called Firstname. Then call the following code (JavaScript) to see if it works,

Aliases.JANUA_UI_WPF.HwndSource_MainWindow.Firstname.SetText("Sophie")

If the above does not work, then try to Record Script, to see how TestComplete has identified the object and the method used to enter "Sophie"

The name mapping has to be correctly setup to identify the UI control, otherwise TestComplete will not  be able to find or interact with the UI control.

To undo the accepted solution, click on the 3 dots and select un-accept solution or not the solution.

Hi,

I would replace .SetText() with .Keys().

Does it help?

If it does not help, could you provide actual code that does not work?

P.S. I marked all replies as not solutions.
