JTableHeader - Control does not contain JTable properties

[jmoe]

Hello,

By default JTableHeader is a correctly configured control in TestComplete that falls under a Table in Object Mapping Swing controls.  So I expected similar properties as a JTable to be available.  However, in our application, when accessing the JTableHeader, JTable properties such as wColumn, wColumnCount are not available.  I did find a native method (getTable()) that returns a JTable object, but then what do I do with that in order to use TestComplete API on that object?  Please advise of the best path forward.

Thanks.

Thanks Marsha.  Yes, familiar with that info.  The problem is JTableHeader does not behave like a JTable, but seems it should.  I'm also wondering how to handle objects that are returned from native calls as that strategy may provide a solution.  However, in my experience, the only time native calls actually "work" are when primitives (strings/ints/bools) are used as method parameters and/or return values.  When an object is returned from a native call (such as a Java call), I am unsure of how that Java object can then be used within TestComplete.  Thx.

I would ask Support about that directly.  Here's the link:
