What else had happened when the recognition problem occurred?
Were there any changes to the computer or the application under test?
Are you testing on a different computer than before?
Were there any upgrades to TestComplete?

Hi,
Just a wild guess... Was the tested application updated? Maybe developers changed/removed the accessibility role assigned to the panel UI element (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/object-identification/msaa/types-by-nam...) ?

Yes, this is resolved.
I'm using TestComplete on two different servers to test two different versions of our software.
Server One: The working version is using Powerbuilder 2017.
Server Two: The version that was not working was recently upgraded to Powerbuilder 2019.
The issue was...some of my windows & panels stopped being recognized by the name mapping. I modifed the mapping settings for the objects in question by removing 'RecordClass' & 'WndClass' and the objects appear to be okay again in NM.
Thanks to those who offered help

Hi,
Thank you for the update and good to hear that the problem was solved.
> by removing 'RecordClass' & 'WndClass'
Just as a side note: If those properties are required for identification, you may consider Conditional NameMapping mode to assign values that are specific to version 2017 and 2019 of PB.
(Also not constant values but variables can be used - see help for more detailed description.)

Hi,
I thought I resolved everything from otehr post but I just realized when we switched from Powerbuilder 2017 to PB 2019 my Panels stopped being recognized by Test Complete. Not sure how to fix. My MSAA includes 'PBDW*' in the list.
Any suggestions would be great
Thanks
Dave

It's possible that TestCOmplete does not support 2019 yet. Check the requirements at

Why automate? I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy. Sleep is a requirement. So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.
