how to define an object (button) that has a text value associated with it

Question

I have a button that has an exact text to test "textA" because when pressed it still remains visible with the text being "textB" and I need to check if its available as "textA"

perhaps the other way to test is to check whether "textB" exists on the page -

so either or both would help me

its using WPF and this is the definition

Aliases.SportingBet_Intrabet.HwndSource_IntrabetMainWindow.IntrabetMainWindow.Grid.Grid.windows.eventManagement.grdMain.Grid.tabControl.ScrollViewer.Grid.contentEventSummary.Grid.Grid.StackPanel.eventCheckList.pnlEventChecklist.ItemscontrolEventsChecklist.eventChecklistSettlingItem.Grid.Button

Then you should be able to spy the button text.&nbsp;Using the Calculator as an example, the number buttons are "WndClass: Button", so:Right Click on Project folder &gt; Edit &gt; PropertiesOpen Applications &gt; Text Recognition &gt; add the "Button" class.Now when you spy the calculator buttons the text will also be highlighted so can be mapped.Link for the Text recognition overviewhttp://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/56486/

Is the text part of the button? Or alongside the button, like a label or something?&nbsp;If it's part of the button, there must be a property somewhere within the button that changes. If it's not obvious (like "Caption" or something) maybe the devs are doing something like replacing a graphic overlay that you're not seeing. So if you can't find it, try asking the devs.&nbsp;Also, why are you using such an unreadable Alias for the object? It looks like a straight copy of the mapped object reference. The whole point of using Aliases is to cut down the object reference by removing container layers that you don't really need to know about and giving it much more readable names than the mapped object it points to. By just using the full, automatic, version, you might as well not bother and just refer to the mapped object.
