How to access non-visual properties.

I have a WPF form which contains a property such as:



public MyFieldType MyField

{

    get { return _myField; }

}



MyFieldType is a custom class with various properties and such.



I cannot seem to access the MyField property in the ObjectMap. Is this possible?

    Hi,



    Can you access this property from scripts? If you obtain your object and address this property, what result do you get (try this on a breakpoint)?

    Actually, after some more analysis, here's the scenario in more details:



    public class MyCustomBox : TextBox

    {

        public MyFieldType MyField

        {

            get { return _myField; }

        }

    }



    As, you can see this has only a get accessor, but no set.



    If I add this class as a property to a WPF Window, I cannot get direct access to Window.MyCustomBox.MyField (in script and object browser). However, I can access the method get_MyField and private field zmyField.

    But when I add a public set accessor to above class, I can access the Window.MyCustomBox.MyField property from TestComplete.
