working with insight objects in UFT 12.52
Question ID: 107090

I have an embedded visio editor in my AUT which can contain multiple similar objects with dynamic text. Even with extensibility, I cannot identify the individual objects so I need to find an alternative to allow me to click on the correct object within the editor. With UFT 12.52, is there any way to use Insight to find the correct object based upon its text? I know I can exclude the text from the image, and that I can get the text within the Insight object, but what I want to do is step through all the similar graphic objects until I find the one with the correct text.

HPE's [KM00484151][1] shows a possibly way to get text from an insight object. In case you don't have a login for HPE, I'll quote it here:

> Notes: you can modify the output name and the target DataTable sheet. You can also modify the name of the output value itself to a more meaningful name in the Object Repository Editor.
