About Support
TestComplete can recognize MFC Grid controls in Visual C++ applications. It provides special properties and methods that let you retrieve the controls data and simulate user actions on the controls (see below).
Supported Versions
Supported component version: 2.26, 2.27.
Requirements
-
You must have an active license for the TestComplete Desktop module.
-
The application must be compiled with debug information.
-
If the application uses the Win32 Release configuration, it must be compiled with the Configuration Properties | C/C++ | Optimization | Whole Program Optimization option turned off.
-
If the application is compiled with the Use of MFC option set to Use MFC in a Shared DLL:
-
Download and place MFC debug information files in the application folder. For instructions, see Downloading MFC Debug Information.
-
Enable the Read debug information for statically linked libraries in the properties of your TestComplete project.
-
-
The Microsoft Control Support plugin must be active. This plugin is installed and enabled automatically as part of the TestComplete Desktop module.
If you experience issues when working with the controls, select File > Install Extensions from the TestComplete main menu and check whether the plugin is active. (You can find the plugin in the Common group.) If the plugin is not available, run the TestComplete installation in the Repair mode.
