Q.: TestComplete does not recognize some controls, like labels, on my form. Why?

Accessing Application Internals

Some controls like TLabel and TImage in Delphi and C++Builder, or Label and Image in Visual Basic, are non-window controls. They are drawn on the canvas of the form. To check whether the control is windowed or not, open the Object Browser.

Do you test your scripts and how?

Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP Security Patch Scripts
I used to use Ghost images of all the platform variants (NT 4.0 Workstation SP6a, NT 4.0 Server SP6a, Windows 2000 Pro SP3, etc.), but I eventually decided to use virtual machines (VMware) instead. This allows me to run patch checks on an unpatched machine, run the scripts against it, verify patch levels to see if anything was missing, then "rebuild" the entire OS by copying a file to do it all over again. It's my life story.

Q: Is there any way to know which sprites have scripts attached without editing each one to check?

D-Mod Author's FAQ Revision 1.3
A: Yes. In sprite edit mode (or even tile edit mode), hold the I key down. Several red and black boxes will appear. They won't always be centered over their respective sprites, but it gives you a general idea. This shows whether each sprite is hard or not, and what script (if any) is attached. This is good for locating places where you "accidentally" put scripts on sprites that weren't supposed to have them. I accidentally put a treasure chest script on some trees in Dink's Doppelganger..
