How to display VCLObject's child objects in order

I am displaying the captions of VCLObject's child objects . But I am not sure in what order they are displayed. I need them to be displayed in the order they are visible on the application.

    Hi Satya,

     


    TestComplete's Object Browser displays the tree of objects taken from your tested app. You can filter data there, but there is no way to change the order.

    Hi Satya,



    Assuming (as you did not mentioned this) that you need this in your code, one of the possible solutions may be to get a list of all needed VCL objects and then order this list using .Left and .Top properties of every object. I am sure that you know (or will find) quite a few sorting algorithms that will fit this task.
