Imp Note:

  • Test object properties of the actual object are available for all types of objects. This is what you always see in the
    Object Repository. The list shows values when the object was learned.
  • Run-time properties are available for Web, ActiveX, .Net, and Java objects. These may be different from the test
    object properties because object properties change during run-time.
