Working With Edit Controls in Desktop Windows Applications

TestComplete lets you record and replay user actions over most standard Windows controls, including edit controls. To work with Win32 edit controls, it uses the Win32Edit object. This object is automatically associated with edit controls whose class names are listed in the project’s Object Mapping options. If your tested application uses custom edit controls, you can associate them with the Win32Edit object by adding their class names to the Object Mapping list. For more information, see Default Project Properties - Object Mapping Options.

The Win32Edit object’s methods and properties let you perform various operations over edit controls. In addition, if the tested application is an Open one, TestComplete can access the edit control’s internal methods, properties and fields, so that you can use them in your tests as well. To learn the edit control’s functionality that is available to your tests, explore the edit control in the Object Browser.
