QTP not able to recognise Dev Express Controls in .Net Application

[mahesh]

Hi All,
We are automating a .Net Application which have Dev Express Control Objects in the GUI, We are not able to recognise these Dev Express Control Objects using QTP 11, These objects are getting recognised as only SwfObjects on which we are not able to perform Select or Click operation.

We have used descriptive method of programming to try and work on the Child objects using the inner properties but could not succeed.
We also have used .Net Extensibility to identify these objects but even this did not work.

Can you please suggest on this as to how we can go about automating Dev Express Control objects, Is there any Plugin or Addin available for QTP to identify these controls.Also please suggest any alternative method for this

What is your version of DevExpress?

Per HP, QTP Supports upto Ver 2 of DevExpress and nothing higher than that. If QTP is your only option then it would be as good as "consuming food upside down" else if you have the luxury to try a different tool then you must check out TestComplete which programatically supports almost everything.

DevExpress.XtraBars.Design 10.2.3.0 is the version used, as of now we used virtual objects to perform click and select operation on the swfobjects, i have a question here , how reliable are these virtual objects.
