If you use Object Spy on the object, you can see the alias name at the top of the window.

 

See attached example.

    thanks, I'm trying to get the mapped name programmatically at runtime. Essentially what I am tryign to do is get the name of an object in case of failure.

     

    If the script fails at runtime, I want to be able to determine the name control that is focused. at the time of failure. Is there a way to do this?

     

    var obj = Sys.Process("Application").ActiveWindow().MappedName

     

    doesn't seem to work for me

    thanks

      "If the script fails at runtime " of what?

      if script fails becouse could not identify object, that mean TC could not match focused object with mapping.

      so in that situation TC could not provide name mapping of object.

      but TC can provide what ever property of object it can read.

      eg 

      var obj = Sys.Desktop.FocusedWindow().Name;
      Log.Message(obj);
