Setting advanced control properties

You can enable smart matching to automatically update the standard search criteria for windows and controls. Smart matching helps differentiate similar windows and controls added to the application repository, but you can disable it for windows or controls if you always want to use search criteria you specified to locate them. See About smart matching.

1. Select a window or control in the Application Repository pane and choose File > Properties.

The Properties dialog box opens with the Search Method tab selected.

2. Click the Advanced tab.

3. Select Enable smart matching to let QA Wizard Pro update window and control properties used as search criteria during recording and recommend better search criteria during playback.

This option is selected by default. Only clear it if you do not want to automatically update search criteria.

Note: Ignore this overlay control during recording and playback and Force recursive ignore are only available if they were selected for the control in an earlier QA Wizard Pro version. These options ignore controls if they obstruct others in the application to work around playback issues. If you clear Ignore this overlay control during recording and playback, both options are permanently removed from the Properties dialog box.

4. Click OK to save the changes.
