How do I simplify name mapping without having to use Extended Search? I remember a check box option.

I remember that there was a check box option buried somewhere deep within the bowels of TestComplete name mapping options that, when checked, would simplify the object paths both in the Object Browse...

    Well, that is still using Extended find... but it's part of the automatic process.  Under Tools -> Options -> Engines -> Name Mapping, there's an option "use extended find when possible". It won't update existing structure and it only applies to Web applications.

     

    And it doesn't necessarily affect the Object browser, just how items are added to Name Mapping.

    Darn.  I was afraid of that.  I guess I must have dreamed that the check box existed.  Oh well, thanks for the reply!

      May be you mean "Simplified WPF object tree" project option? You can find it in Project properties/Open Applications/WPF  page.

        I learned something new! Thanks, Bobik! I haven't in my experience worked a lot with WPF controls so I wasn't aware that such an option existed. Good to know!
