Change Name mapped object property value

Hi,



 
You can modify mapped objects in the Name Mapping editor. See the Modifying Mapping Criteria help topic for details.



The aqObject.SetPropertyValue method sets a property value for an object of the tested application and is not related to name mapping. Also, as WPFControlIndex is a read-only property, you cannot modify its value. See the WPFControlIndex Property (WPF Application Objects) help topic.

When i open the application, initially only one 'Import' button displayed i.e.'WPFControlIndex' is 1. While Name mapping for this object, i'm not selected 'WPFControlIndex" property .



When i do some operation it will add one more 'Import' button i.e. 'WPFControlIndex' is now 2.



Now i don't want Name mapp for the 2nd 'Import' button.



Using the 1st name mapping object, just i want to change property value of the 'WPFControlIndext' value, click on it 2nd 'Import' button.



Can any one answer for me.

Hi,



Let me interpret the situation you have. If I understand you correctly, you have two buttons with the same 'Import' caption, but with different WPFControlIndex values, and for some reason, you don't want to create a separate mapped object for the second Import button. So, you are trying to use the same mapped object for both buttons by changing the mapping criteria.



In this scenario, the best solution is to obtain the needed button from script using the FindChild method. Replace dummy values in angle brackets with actual values.

var PropArray, ValuesArray, p, w;

PropArray = new Array("NativeClrObject.Name", "WPFControlIndex");

ValuesArray = new Array(<the property value>, 1);

var btn = <parent form>.FindChild(PropArray, ValuesArray, 100);

btn.Click();  

Hello,





The SetPropertyValue method is used when the name of the object property can be different in different cases, and you need to specify the property name programmatically.

Now by programmatically, i want to change the property value "WPFControlIndex" 1 to 2 for object 'btnImport'. By using 'SetPropertyValue" method, it wil not work.



Is there any way ?

Hello Hoks,





First, I recommend that you update to version 8.10. It contains a bunch of improvement of the Name Mapping feature.





As I mentioned, the WPFControlIndex property is read-only, it cannot be written. Actually, you do not need to change this property.





By default, TestComplete uses the NativeClrObject.Name property to identify objects of .Net Open applications. In your case, it seems that non-default criteria are used. Did you configure Name Mapping Templates (right-click in the Name Mapping tree and select Templates...)? If there are some templates in the list, remove them and see whether the problem with duplicated objects persists. Please read more about Name Mapping Templates in the Creating, Editing and Deleting Name Mapping Templates help topic.





If the advice above does not help, let's try to narrow down the problem. If you can determine the moment when the duplicated object for the Import button appears, try to reproduce the problem with a simple test. First, record a test with the Import button so that TestComplete maps the button. After that, find the parent window of the problematic button in the Object Browser and create a snapshot of this window. In the Save Object Snapshot Dialog, choose the  "All properties" option and check the "Save recursively" check box. 





Then perform the actions with the tested application that usually lead to appearing of the duplicated object. After the duplicated object appears, make another object snapshot of the button's parent object.





Finally, pack the entire project suite folder along with the snapshots and send it to Support.
