I m trying to automate one vb desktop application in that
there is vblist vbcombobox many other vb tools are
there ,when i m trying to find some unique property to
identify the object (take example of vbcombobox ) I cannot
find any unique property, all the combobox belong to same
nativeclass same name no ids are available ,only the
distinct property is there x and y coordinates so i m using
some code like this
"vbbutton "nativeclass:=ThunderRT6CommandButton","x:=304","y
:=443").exist(2)" but i dont find them reliable .Can anyone
suggest me some other way to identify those objects with
some unique property or is there any way to register our
own property .I m using descriptive programming to write
the code .Thanks in advance

Answer / jay prakash

I didn't understood your question but i feel that you have
problem with finding unique properties during descreptive
programing among the same controls...

If my understandig is correct than Just try Index or
CreationTime (in case your app is web based).

Please let me know if it helps.

Answer / babu

Hi Ankur,

Select the object in the object repository, and select the
icon where it will open you to see the mandatory and
assistive properties of the object. By using this you can
add the properties to the particular object whichever you
want to find some uniqueness.

I feel this answer may be usefull for your question.

Pls let me know if i am wrong.
