I must say that when i have this kind of a case i'm going to the Edit Name Mapping Item dialog for the specific item and try to see what property could be unique to this object and then i select to move it to the Selected side. is that what i should do? does tc search for the properties showed in the Selected side? does it look for the object matching those properties.
I'm asking this question because there were few times that i tried to move properties to the Selected side and to see if tc change behavior and it didn't, then i said lets pass all the properties to the selected side and see if that will solve the problem... it didn't so, i was thinking to myself if so many properties combination won't help tc recognize this object in 100% than what will.
Don't know if i'm doing the right think to uniquely recognize the object by a unique property.
If that's the right way i'll be happy to hear but if that's not the way i would be happy to hear how to do that
Thanks
What I would do, actually, is investigate the object you want in Object Browser or Object Spy FIRST, without going through NameMapping. The reason being is that, if you're having recognition problems to begin with, the NameMapping interface will find what it THINKS is the right one but still could be the wrong one.
The way I would handle your particular situation is investigate BOTH objects, get a comparison of the properties between the two (screenshot to screenshot) and see if you can determine a set of properties that will distinguish them. THEN I would go to NameMapping and make the appropriate adjustments.

I found the two object that answer the same name in the Aliases , I've changed the name to one of them, that didn't help so, I did what you suggested and picked 2 properties that both have with two different values and added those values to one of the objects, that didn't help as well, should i add those two values to both of the objects? and should what i did suppose to be enough?
The values i've added are: Stretch, System.Windows.Controls.ItemsControl
Thanks

Changeing the name doesn't change the identification. The combination of the properties and the hierarchy of them in relation to parent objects is what determines object identification. Without knowing the specifics of the properties, I can't tell you whether or not what you've suggested are sufficient. You DO need to make the changes to both, not just to one. They both need to have proper identification.
Please use Object Spy and generate screenshots of both objects in question and their entire property list. Provide those and I can give you some suggestions.

Ok, The thing is that the 2nd object is a bit problematic because TC cannot see it's properties, etc. because it is not always displaying, in order for it to display we'll need to click the + sign then a menu item will display and this is the other object so the 2nd document is for the 2nd object. hope it can help or another option is that there could be another ItemsControl objects that i'm missing.
Pls see attached
Thx,
Ofer
