"Use native object name For TestComplete object names" option doesn't affect recording

I enable/disable this option and record my testscript, it seems all objects' names are not really affected by this option when recording testscripts..



gridControl["MyDateEdit2"]["Click"](57, 10);

  powerTax_Main["MyPopupDateEditForm"]["DateEditCalendar"]["Click"](93, 49);

  gridControl["ClickNewRowCellXY"]("Gross up rate", 28, 10);

  gridControl["ClickNewRowCellXY"]("Gross up rate", 43, 9);

  gridControl2["ClickCellXY"](2, "Description", 25, 6);

  gridControl["DblClickNewRowCellXY"]("Lowest Fare To Public", 37, 1);

  gridControl["TextEdit13"]["wText"] = "2222";//why its still "TextEdit13" when I disable this option?

  gridControl["Click"](730, 365);



I think if I disable this function, every object's name should be like

var p, w;

p = Sys["Process"]("My_NET_App");

w = p["WinFormsObject"]("MainFormClass", "Form Caption", 1);



Thanks

    Hi Philip,


    The behavior you are observing is caused by the fact that there is a Name Mapping scheme for the objects in question and/or the Map object names automatically option described in the Name Mapping Options Dialog help topic is enabled. This makes TestComplete use mapped names for your application's objects. If you remove the Name Mapping scheme and disable the option, you will see how the Use native object names for TestComplete object names option affects the recording.


    BTW, please note that you need to change the properties of the current project, not the default project properties available via the Options | Default Project Properties... main menu item.

    Hi Sara,



    If you're facing "object not found" errors, I recommend that you try using suggestions provided in one of the help topics mentioned in the Handling the 'Object Not Found' Errors help topic. The specific topic you need depends on the text of the specific error message you get. If you're having problems with newly created objects, try calling the Refresh and RefreshMappingInfo methods to make TestComplete "notice" the newly created objects.
