Changes in MFC Classes Notation

Since TestComplete is an OLE server, all variable and method names in Visual C++ applications must follow OLE naming rules. Some function names in C++ may include characters not supported by OLE standard, for example, “operator +”, since operators are functions too.

TestComplete modifies all variable and method names of MFC objects in the following way:

1. The class name and an underscore are added before the method or variable name. For example --

   Visual C++ code	Script Code
   CWnd::GetHandle	CWnd_GetHandle
   CFrameWnd.m_bAutoMenuEnable	CFrameWnd_m_bAutoMenuEnable

2. Characters that are not supported by the IDL convention are replaced with token strings. This typically occurs for C++ operators.

   Visual C++ code	Script Code
   Space	_
   ::	_
   ~	Tilde
   *	Pointer
   ==	Equal
   !=	NotEqual
   =	Assignment
   []	Indexing
   +	Plus
   -	Minus
   !	Exclamation
   <	Less
   >	Greater
   &	AND
   |	OR
   /	Slash

   For instance, CClassA::operator = (...) is converted to CClassA_operator_Assignment(...).
