Name Mapping to different objects

In my application under test, I have a screen with 4 tabs, a txtSearchBox and a grid.

When selecting a tab, different data is shown in the grid, but the txtSearchBox and the grid seem to be the same.



However, TestComplete creates different objects for the grid and txtSearchBox for every tab. So in the object browser I see something like this:

• 
  Tab1


• 
     txtSearchBox


• 
     grid


• 
  Tab2


• 
     txtSearchBox


• 
     grid

The only difference is that Tab1 and Tab2 have a different name. The subelements are exactly the same. But if Tab1 is selected, Tab2.grid is cannot be found/highlighted.



Is it possible to make an object like

• 
  Tab


• 
     txtSearchBox


• 
     grid

That would recognize/highlight the txtSearchBox and the grid, whichever tab is selected?

I hope it is clear what I mean.



Thanks in advance
