Re: Custom control information files

Maybe https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/managing-projects/properties/object-mapping.html then? This appears to be just for supporting controls that you would like to behave like preexisting controls which are already supported by TC. So, say if you built a tab array which had the same (or similar) feature set as a vendor's control, you could map your control class under a similar node in the Object Mapping tree. If my understanding of this feature is wrong here, please let me know. From my experimentation, the Object Mapping doesn't appear to affect the interactivity of the problem objects/controls. In our situation, the controls have been modified heavily on top of the base class; for example, the class 'RadPageView' (Telerik) has had functionality built on top of it to the point where TC does not recognize the base class or added functionality. In code it is still using the same class name, it is just that now TC doesn't know how to use our version of RadPageView objects. Thank you for the suggestion, however :)1.9KViews0likes0CommentsCustom control information files
Hey TC community! Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with this feature in TestComplete, or has developed a plugin to support custom controls (Tools > Options > Engines > Custom Controls). What do these XML files look like (elements, etc.)? What is involved in developing a plugin to support custom controls? The documentation mentions plugins can be developed but no information regarding what that entails. https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/options/engines/custom-controls.html Our application under test is large, complex and has a lot of custom controls which TC fails to recognize 50% of the time; performed actions usually fall back on basic coordinate clicks which are less than accurate in an application that needs high-accuracy clicks and keystrokes. We've also tried adding the control classes themselves to the Object Mapping editor in the project's properties, but it did not seem to add any functionality when scripting or when recording KWTs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, JoelSolved2KViews0likes7Comments
