I don't know EXACTLY what you did... but I think, based upon what you're telling me, you want to use the Custom option under category order and then click the Customize button to re-order your list.
Are you auto mapping?
Then there is chance of TC mapping for unstable property.
Better to study what properties are stable not subject to change and using those, map manually.
Even in new version (of either TC or your application) you do not have to re-map
first check with dev's that your application compiled correctly as seen hear
then investigate your object with object spy more info
ask dev's what properties are stable
map object manually like this
as you said "developer can add id to all elements" that is the best
Those id's will show in object spy or in mapping property dialog (observe available properties in right hand side) if properly done.
p.s.
Also be careful about the hierarchy of objects For eg if you map an object top of hierarchy and then maps bottom object separately there could be problems (not in every case)
Eg You map object A as X
Then Map object B (which is child of A) as Y
Then make sure Y define as child of X in mapping
100% with NisHera on the suggestions. Desktop applications CAN have their objects change dynamically... it depends a lot on how the items are constructed, rendered, etc., A good example would be a window that opens up where the caption on the window contains the current date and time. If you are mapping the window and using the caption as part of the mapping criteria, every time you open that window, it would need to be remapped.
Auto mapping is a good start, but most of the time, you will need to go back and make sure either wildcards are added for variable values or, preferrably, more stable identifying factors are presented.
Thanks for your replies.
It looks like I have mapped the elements manually...
I will try to use IDs.
Happy Holidays!
Guys,
need help!
I made an install repair for TestComplete and it probably definitely removed some of my settings.
I remember I somehow prioritized something for working with Object Browser as a default (preferred) way of mapping objects.
But I do not remember WHAT and WHERE.
I was not able to find that via search...
Share please
That would be, I believe, under Tools | Options | Panels | Object Browser.
And?.... What should I do there?
I remember I moved smth to the top of the list ... Hopefully, I do not mess up with another settings...
But I do not see any lists there.
