    1. try to find the certain text in under any Objects Controls, definately you will have the values somewhere in the properties of the object control.

    2. Yes image checkpoints can be used to compare the image per pixel so even slight changes can be validated. You can also add some tolerance as well.

    3. I need to understand the type of object you want to run the checkpoint, generally we can have wText or Text or Value properties to get the text for the objects , if it is bind to some grid and all we can do that as well using wValue property.

     

    Please provide the object spy properties of the objects you want to compare the text.

    Hello,

     

    I discussed with the Dev team since I was unable to find individual object ids. The result was that our desktop app is not made up of different objects but a single image and hence impossible to detect objects using different kind of properties. The only possible solution was to use image checkpoints for comparison. 

     

    Thank you for yur help :)

     

    Best,
