VB6 app : Object Spy slowness with Visual Basic Extension

Hello,

 

On a VB6 Form with a lot of controls ( more than 50 labels and edits), ObjectSpy freeze 10 seconds when identifying a control. The time growth with the number of controls. The slowness can be seen too on Object Browser or when playnig test...
If I uninstall the Visual Basic Extension, the process is instantaneous. But I WANT to use this extension to have a correct maintanibility of my test cases.

 

I'm using TestComplete 10.60. 

I made a VB6 sample project linked to this post. Rename it in .exe for runing...

 

The apps I work on are huge compared to this small sample and this extension just make this extension totaly unusable on those. 

 

Did someone encounter the same problem and solved it ?

 

EDIT : Tested with 11.20 demo. still present.

    Hello,

     

    same here.

    We have a Delphi Application, Object Spy and the FindWindow API call take about 5 minutes.

    For us TestComplete is not really useable for legacy real world applications with tons of data entry edits.
