Supported Developer Express Controls

Applies to TestComplete 15.62, last modified on March 14, 2024

TestComplete supports testing of various Developer Express controls. You can also modify project properties so that TestComplete recognizes your custom Developer Express controls. The sections below describe how you can test Developer Express controls in detail.

About Supported Developer Express Controls

TestComplete can work with any Developer Express control via a graphical user interface. Besides, TestComplete provides extended support for most of Developer Express controls. It automatically associates them with special scripting test objects that contain supplementary methods and properties for working with the controls, for example, for selecting individual items and retrieving the item text.

Requirements

For Windows Forms, VCL and WPF controls:

  • A license for TestComplete Desktop module.

  • The Developer Express Controls Support plugin.

For ASP.NET controls:

  • A license for TestComplete Web module.

  • The Developer Express Controls Support plugin.

The needed plugin is installed and enabled automatically. If you experience issues when working with Developer Express controls, make sure the appropriate TestComplete plugins are active in the File | Install Extensions dialog. If the needed plugin is not available, run the TestComplete installation in the Repair mode.

Supported Controls

Below is the full list of the Developer Express controls for which TestComplete provides extended support.

Note that TestComplete provides support for the listed controls as well as for their descendants. However, to make this possible, you need to specify the class name of your inherited control in the corresponding group of the project’s Object Mapping options. For more information, see Object Mapping.

Recognizing Custom Controls

To command TestComplete to recognize your custom Developer Express controls, open your project’s Object Mapping options and add the control’s class name to the corresponding subgroup of the Developer Express Controls group. The subgroup name corresponds to your custom control’s type. Once the control is mapped, it gets all the properties, methods and actions specific to the Developer Express control of the corresponding type.

If the specified custom control does not fit the control’s type, then it may not properly respond to commands that TestComplete sends, so recording or playing back user actions over the tested control will cause errors.

Known Issues

TestComplete does not recognize Developer Express VCL controls in C++Builder x64 applications.
