On this page of the Checkpoint wizard, you can specify the window, control, or object whose properties, tabular data, or text contents you want to verify.

Note for mobile testing: To verify an object in a mobile application, you can specify the object by selecting it on the Mobile Screen. Make sure that the Mobile Screen window is not hidden when you call the checkpoint wizard. Also note that the mobile application under test and the mobile device where the application is running must be prepared for testing in order for TestComplete to be able to access the application objects.

You can specify the object in one of the following ways:

Pick the object with the target icon ()

See instructions
See instructionsSee instructions
1. Drag the target icon () to the desired onscreen object in the tested application.
  
  To select an object in a mobile application, drag the target glyph to the desired object on the Mobile Screen (see Select an Object on the Mobile Screen).
  
  Select an object in a mobile device cloud
  
  Select an object in an Android application (Legacy mobile support)
  
  Select an object in an iOS application (Legacy mobile support)
2. While dragging, a red frame appears around the object that is currently under the mouse pointer.
3. Wait until a red frame appears around the needed object and release the mouse button.

Select the object and press a shortcut ()

1. Click icon.
2. Perform the actions needed to activate the desired object in the tested application (for example, invoke the popup window).
3. Move the mouse pointer over the desired object.
  
  To select an object in a mobile application, move the mouse pointer over the desired object on the Mobile Screen (see Select an Object on the Mobile Screen).
  
  Select an object in a mobile device cloud
  
  Select an object in an Android application (Legacy mobile support)
  
  Select an object in an iOS application (Legacy mobile support)
4. Wait until a red frame appears around that object and press Shift+Ctrl+A. (The shortcut can be changed in the Global Shortcuts options.)

Enter the object name manually

Enter the full name (or full mapped name, or alias) of the desired object into the Object box.

For web objects: If your project is configured to use XPath expressions and CSS selectors to locate web objects, the dialog will show the list of available locators (if any) for the specified web object. You can select the needed locator from the drop-down list.

Tips for selecting objects:

Using the second approach may be more convenient if you need to manipulate the application before selecting an object. For example, you can open and point to popup windows, tooltips, and other objects that are hidden when being inactive.
To select a non-onscreen object, such as a process, enter the object name manually.
Instead of selecting the object, you can copy its name from the Object Browser, Object Spy, keyword test, or script code beforehand and paste it into the Object box.
Despite the way you specify the object name, you can change or correct it directly in the Object box.

If the Map object names automatically option is selected, TestComplete automatically adds the specified object to the Name Mapping repository (if it is not there already). Your tests will take the object alias from the repository.

To make sure you have selected the correct object, click Highlight. TestComplete will highlight the appropriate object on the desktop screen or in the Mobile Screen window.
