      Just as a note, those settings are available within the Project Suite editor in the TestComplete workspace itself.  When you make those changes in the Project Suite, they are saved within the Project Suite.  Once set, you shouldn't need to change them via code.

       

      Think of them as compiler settings when compiling an application.  Once the application is compiled and built out to the EXE, you can't very well go back into that application and change up those things that were applied by the compiler.  In order to make such changes, it would need to be re-compiled.  Once a project has started running, it can be considered to be "compiled" so anything that alters that workflow of the test project are "off limits" at run time.

    Hi,

     

    To add to Robert's reply: the only option at the moment is to programmatically process project suite file before tests start and make required changes to it. Project file is an XML one so it can be processed like any other XML file. Note, that this is not documented approach and internal files format changes with almost any major version of TestComplete.
