How do I find a property, when I have created a custom control?

Question

Is there someway how I can make a treeview dump of the properties when I creat3e a property checkpoint?

I know the value of the property, and will be able to search for it if I can make a text dump of the all the properties available on this object. In my case, I have used an image and then manipulate it via xaml in order to behave like a button.

The property that I am interested in specifically is the image displayed.

I know this is vague, but hopefully someone will be able to assist?

Thank you.

OK this is really important to me to find the property and its value at run time.&nbsp;Please could you have a look?The c#, xaml definition of my custom button (an image that is clickable, and changes according to state): &lt;!-- KeepDeleteButton --&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;Button x:Name="KeepDeleteImage" Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle4}" &nbsp;Command="{Binding KeepDeleteButtonClickedCommand}" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Hi Harriet, &nbsp; Explore your object in TestComplete's Object Browser. To make sure that you see all properties/methods of the object, switch to the Advanced View mode and make TestComplete show hidden properties (Tools | Options | Engines | General | Display members | Show hidden members). &nbsp;

Hello Tanya, I have tried this, but still could not find the property.

Is there a way to make a text dump of the properties with their respective values, in order to check whether the property lies somewhere I failed to check?

Thanks for your reply.

harriet_louis · Answer

hi, I did have a look at the object browser, and it sees the objects until this level:

Aliases["ImplementationLayer"]["HwndSource_AppEntrypoint"]["AppEntrypoint"]["Grid"]["placeholder"]["MainViewControl"]["Grid"]["Grid"]["groupBox1"]["Grid"]["WPFObject"]("StopStartRecordingImage")["Style"]["Setters"]

------ note, according to the xaml definition, this is what i think it should be, and from this point forward, in the object browser, i do not see any familiar fields.

Please help, kinda desperate here...
