How can I capture the displayed edge browser title (WndCaption)?

[bo_roop]

I have an existing keyword test that maximizes a browser based upon its WndCaption... all browsers besides Edge match the displayed tab's title. Edge however returns a WndCaption of "Microsoft Edge" instead of the Google title.

Google Tab

Is there a setting I can change to get this working again so I don't have to update NameMapping and my existing tests?

Thanks!

Actually, I think that's probably better captured, not as the WndCaption, but something more like

Sys.Browser('*').Page('http://my.page.url').contentDocument.title

Thanks. I'm trying to get it to work the way it used to work in IE, Firefox and chrome... without modifying existing functionality if possible.

I see that your way works but do you know of a way to get Edge & TestComplete to work together as the other browsers do?

FWIW, Windows also displays "Google - Microsoft Edge" when Alt+Tabbing between windows.

Edge is it's own monster.  Honestly, I don't know.  However, even for your existing browser, that code should work. That contentDocument.title is part of the actual HTML document for the page so it is a global property available no matter what the browser.  If your intent is to work in multiple browsers, that would be the best practice to follow.

Have you checked all these settings?

Yes, the browser is configured properly and TestComplete settings have been applied. The browser is recognized as Edge so I know it's working.

It's just the difference in the WndCaption that I'm noting. 😞

Then I would go with @tristaanogre's solution.  It should work for all the browsers.
