Edit Test Object Appearance dialog box

You use the Edit Test Object Appearance dialog box to customize the text for test objects displayed in the hierarchy tree of the test object map.

You can add or delete any of the properties of the test object using the following format for each property you want to add:

%map: property%:

where property is the name of the property as it appears in the property sheet for the object.

For example, you can add the descriptive name to the display.

%map:#name%:

Use a pair of carets (^) to indicate properties that are not common to all objects or those that return a null value. This ensures that gaps or punctuation marks do not appear in the descriptions of objects that do not have the property.

For example, the following ensures that no gaps or punctuation marks appear in the test object map text for objects that do not have a descriptive name:

^%map:#name%:^

To open: From the object map menu, click Preferences > Test Object Appearance on Tree.
