Hi Shirley,
I am guessing that you are asking not about a possibility to point to a GUI object within the tested application and find it in the Object Browser tree, but search the tree for an object with a specific name from within the Object Browser panel itself. Is it right?
The object tree in the Object Browser panel is built dynamically. This means that is there is a collapsed node in this tree, its child nodes does not exist. TestComplete will add these objects only when you expand the parent node. Since adding each node causes TestComplete to get information on the corresponding object of the tested application, building the entire process tree can take some time. In order to perform a search within the object tree like you ask, the entire tree including all process trees must be built. This can take very long time and consume too much memory and, therefore, this is just impossible.
A common way to get an object within the Object Browser tree is to use the Object Spy as I already mentioned. If this approach does not work for you for some reason, could you please explain why?
