extended find question
Could you please explain the extended find? Is it for object that has variable parents or an object like tree that may have dynamic content?
Forum Discussion
Extended find, if you select that on an object, indicates that the name mapping engine will search for that object either as a direct child of the object's parent or somewhere within the tree of children.
There's a lot that can be learned about the various features of NameMapping by watching the following screencast

Essentially, though, extended find I have found to be a good option to use if the hierarchy for objects is very fluid and changes dynamically from build to build. It's especially useful for Web applications... for Delphi apps, I did not find it to be a necessary feature as those applications are a lot more static when it comes to heirarchy.
