Telerik RadTextBox for WinForms Support

Applies to TestComplete 14.10, last modified on June 5, 2019

About Support

TestComplete can recognize Telerik RadTextBox controls in Windows applications. It provides special properties and methods that let you retrieve the controls data and simulate user actions on the controls (see below).

In some cases, accessing the native PreferredSize property of this control may cause issues with control drawing. That is why, by default, this property is hidden. If you experience such issues, viewing the control’s members by using the Object Browser, make sure that the Show hidden members option of Engines - General Options is disabled.

Supported Versions

Supported component versions: Telerik RadControls for WinForms 2009.2 (Q2 2009), 2011.1 (Q1 2011) - 2016.1 (Q1 2016), 2017.1 (R1 2017), 2018.2 (R2 2018).

Requirements

In order for TestComplete to be able to work with Telerik RadTextBox controls, the following requirements must be met:

  • You must have an active license for the TestComplete Desktop module.

  • The control’s class name must be specified in the Telerik Controls | WinForms | TextBox group of your project’s Object Mapping options. By default, this group contains the following item:

    • Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTextBox

    You can also command the test engine to recognize custom controls as Telerik RadTextBox controls. See below for information about this.

  • Support for the Telerik RadTextBox controls is implemented by the Telerik WinForms and WPF Control Support plugin. 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 Desktop group.) If the plugin is not available, run the TestComplete installation in the Repair mode.

Recognizing Custom Controls

To command TestComplete to recognize your custom controls as Telerik RadTextBox controls, open your project’s Object Mapping options and add the control’s class name to the Telerik Controls | WinForms | TextBox group. The class name is specified by the control’s ClrFullClassName property. You can get the property value in the Object Browser panel. You can also choose the needed control from screen. For detailed information, see Object Mapping. Once the control is mapped, it gets all the properties, methods and actions specific to the Telerik RadTextBox control.

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.

Members

When testing Telerik RadTextBox controls, you can use properties and methods specific to these controls, as well as properties and methods that TestComplete applies to tested objects, onscreen objects and window objects.
