Issue with retrieving text from listbox items in desktop win32 application
Hi All, I have a listbox object type item in my desktop application , which is in a table structure while trying to retrieve the text in the table i am getting error "Failed to retrieve text, because the items are owner-drawn.The list box is not of the LBS HASSTRINGS style. More information can be found in the MSDN library. The witem, witemList and wSelectedItems methods will return an empty string " in the wSelectedItems property.Any idea how we can fix this issue
"CloseAllModalDialogs()" Script Built-In Function
If a Desktop test fails, it can leave modal dialogs open, which will then block any future interactions with the main application window (or other app-owned windows). It would be nice to have a function that can be called at the start of each test that would ensure that all modal dialogs belonging to the application are closed (including system modals opened by the app, e.g. "Open File" or "Open Folder"). (And something like this would be valuable in Keyword Testing as well.)
POWERBUILDER & TESTCOMPLETE
Just wondering is there a workaround with the MSAA (pbdw*) to accommodate Powerbuilder 2019 & 2022. We migrated to 2019 and I remapped all of the datawindows in TestComplete so it would be recognized during runtime. Again, we migrated to 2022 and I'm to the same issue. I know about the supported version... Supported PowerBuilder Versions With TestComplete, you can create and run tests for applications created with PowerBuilder Classic version 12.0, 12.5, 12.5.2 and 12.6. I saw other posts with similar questions regarding the same issue. Support ticket created Thanks 🙃
How can we fetch ColumnIndex based on Column Name for Syncfusion Grid Control in Python
I was following below page for reference but didn't get also do we have more clear documentation for Syncfusion control ? https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-objects/specific-tasks/grids/syncfusion-grid-control/index.html
Challenges with TestComplete 15.74 and SAP GUI 8.00
Introduction With the recent update to TestComplete 15.74, our team was eager to leverage the new features and improvements. However, during our testing with SAP GUI 8.00, we encountered several significant issues that have impacted our workflow. We hope that by sharing our experiences, other users facing similar challenges can join the conversation and find solutions together. Known Issues with SAP GUI 8.00 TestComplete has documented several known issues when working with SAP GUI 8.00. These include performance slowdowns and compatibility problems that can affect test execution. Despite these known issues, we proceeded with our testing, hoping the latest updates would mitigate some of these challenges. Problems Encountered During Testing: Playback Performance Issues with MS Teams Active When MS Teams was active during test playback, we noticed a significant slowdown. This issue persisted regardless of the version of MS Teams used. The playback speed was drastically reduced, making it difficult to complete tests in a reasonable timeframe. Password Containing an Exclamation Mark Another performance problem occurred when the password used in our tests contained an exclamation mark. However, the exclamation mark was not recognized as a character, so it was omitted during input. This led to a slowdown in playback and incorrect password entries, which prevented our test procedure from running. SAP Logon Crash During the execution of the transaction PA40, the saplogon.exe process crashed with the following details: Exception code: 0xC0000409 Process identifier (PID): 17472 Dump file: saplogon_ue_1527ac38.dmp The crash occurred while performing “OCR Checkpoint” and “OCR Action” operations. The system detected a stack-based buffer overflow, which could potentially allow a malicious user to take control of the application. Call to Action We are reaching out to the TestComplete and SAP GUI user communities to share their experiences and solutions regarding these issues. If you have encountered similar problems or have any insights, please join the discussion. Together, we can work towards finding effective solutions and improving our testing processes. Conclusion While the latest update to TestComplete brings many enhancements, it also presents new challenges, especially when used with SAP GUI 8.00. By collaborating and sharing our experiences, we can help each other navigate these issues and optimize our testing workflows. Feel free to share your thoughts and solutions in the comments below!
Qt6-Objects are not recognized
Hello, After Qt6.5-Upgrade of the software any Qt-Objects are not recognized by TestComplete (15.54, neuest at this moment) any more. The TestComplete Tests worked with the software with Qt6.2 or Qt5 without problem. Is there any way to make it work, other than waiting for TestComplete update? We are also wondering if we can find the Qt6.5(LTS)-Support plan somewhere. Thank you.please add Qt6.5 (LTS) Support
Qt6.5 (LTS) was released on April 3, 2023 and some bugs in Qt6.2 seem to be implemented only in Qt6.5. I believe Qt is widely used in desktop softwares and the demands of testings of softwares with newest Qt is large. However, TestComplete supports currently up to Qt6.2 and no update plan is published. We found that the newest TestComplete (15.54) cannot recognize any Qt-Objects in our software with Qt6.5. (Qt6-Objects are not recognized) Therefore, I would like to request Qt6.5 support urgently. Also, it would be helpful, if we could hear, when Qt6.5 is planned to be supported. Thank you.
objects previously recognized on desktop app
When beginning this project, I went through the exercise of getting objects to be recognized by test complete. I have a number of objects whose class is reported as WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.198698e_r8_ad1 or some variation. I was able to get recognitions with: adding appropriate the class names to Project/Properties/Open Applications/MSAA. I then began happily writing my test and enjoying every happy minute. What changed, you asked? I don't know. I make no changes to code or project properties. Immediately before observing this behavior, I had accepted the TestComplete dialog to update to the new version. Of course that is it, thought I. So I downgraded to TC 15.54.3.7 (which is the only version I have around. Waiting on SmartBear to tell me why my TC licenses are not showing up in the license manager.) I am experiencing the same problem in this previous version of TC. The only other thing I can think of that changed is that the AUT's database was restored. But the behavior that I am seeing in TC began before this. And in no way did this change the user interface. I looked at installed extensions, they are all installed except HP something something which I don't have. Any ideas from anyone on what might be going on? Thanks
