How can I use the functions from Windows DLL

Hi,

      I want to use the "AccessibleObjectFromWindow()" from "Oleacc.dll" in "c:\windows\system32" to obtain the accessible object of my AUT's objects, as I am unable to do so usning TestComplete. Please refer http://www.automatedqa.com/forums/forum/post/?mode=singlethread&thread=a02fce04-90d2-4266-a675-2b5122a586bc for more detail. I can obtain the Accessibility object through c# for the same aplication. I have also tried to add clr bridge (Adding oleacc.dll), but unable to use the function "AccessibleObjectFromWindow()". Can anybody tell me how to do this?

    Hi Harshad,



    According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317978(VS.85).aspx, the mentioned function returns a pointer to the interface. As scripting languages do not provide functionality access interface functions via pointers, I am not sure that you will benefit from being able to call it from the script.



    You can have a look at the "Calling Routines Located in Dynamic Link Libraries From Scripts" help topic for the general information and samples of how to call functions from DLLs.

    Hi Alex,

        Thanks for the reply. Can you please tell me how can I map the toolstrip control as custom control in TestComplete? I have tried mapping it but got the error (was mapping to Microsoft Controls --> Strip Toolbar)

        The selected object does not match the criteria of the "Microsoft Controls" group.

    Then I tried to map the same object to Toolbar of Win32 Controls and Window and the mapping was successful. But I don't know how to use the mapped class in script.



    Regards,
