    Yes.

    NameMapping.

     

    There, done. :-)

    In other words... why have an external object repository when TestComplete has one built in?  There is no "loading" delay.. it's always there.

    You should not use "MappedName" to find, either.  That's the name of the mapped object... if it's already mapped, there's no need to find it.  

    And no, that is not your Alias name... an Alias starts with Aliases.

    A find should use non-TestComplete designators (wndCaption, ObjectType, etc) for the search.  

    So, since you already have it mapped with something represented by field, you should find the Alias designation and then use something like

     

    w=Aliases.legaclt.wndLSPANEL3.page32770.WaitAliasChild(field, 30000)

i looked into the link and changed my code as below

w=namemapping.sys.legaclt.wndLSPANEL3.page32770.FindEX("MappedName","*"&field,30)

 

this is my aliases name 

namemapping.sys.legaclt.wndLSPANEL3.page32770

 

still i see child windows taking time to find the objects.

    with this i tried

    w=Aliases.legaclt.wndLSPANEL3.page32770.WaitAliasChild(field, 30000) and when it comes to identify the child window.

      it says non-existance object. after it fails when i highlight the object it is able to highlight. Also when i debug the code and object spy and then run it. it is able to identify the object correctly.

     

    Issue happend only with the child window.
