How to propagate script changes back to the keyword test?

I have recorded a keyword test and generated a script from it. I had to make changes to the script due to the fact that the test did not wait for the icon bar to display. I also mistakenly accepted a...

    Ensure your https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/object-identification/name-mapping/index.html are defined and structured correctly, and make use of https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/exploring-apps/object-browser/about.html. 

     

    1. It could be a slight bug in TC, hence you can't find the object.

    2. It's not possible to convert scripts to keyword tests

     

    Once you added the property to MSAA, if you use the Object Spy tool, it should highlight each of the buttons. Object Browser may show you more details, like this

I can't see Ribbon2 being used anywhere ðŸ˜• ?

 

FYI. If you were to add the WndClass property value 'AfxControlBar140' to MSAA (Project Settings), you might be able to access the individual buttons

    Thank You!

    I do not see Ribbon2 anywhere either. Yet when I run the keyword test is fails with Ribbon2Error. When I look at the script generated from the keyword test I get this: Aliases.draft.wndAfx.Ribbon2.Main.CheckItem(40068, true, false);

    I change it to Aliases.draft.wndAfx.Ribbon.Main.CheckItem(40068, true, false); running the script also fails because it does not find Main which is why I insert Aliases.draft.wndAfx.Ribbon.WaitVCLNETObject;
    Delay(5000); and save. Now the script succeeds most of the time.

    I guess my questions are:

    1. why is there an object that I cannot find anywhere? ðŸ˜•
    2. is there a connection between the Keyword test and the script generated from it and, if so, is there a way to propagate the changes made to the script back to the Keyword test?

    I have found MSAA and added AfxControlBar140. Have not had a chance to play with it yet.
