The TextObject object provides a scripting interface to objects that are exposed by the Text Recognition technology. It contains all methods, properties and actions of the onscreen objects and an extra Text property that returns the recognized text.

<Name Mapping>

These properties are available only if the test object has been mapped (see Name Mapping). You can use them in your tests, but they are not displayed in the Object Browser panel.

Name	Description
`NamedChild`	Returns a child object stored in the Name Mapping repository (by its index).
`NamedChildCount`	Returns the number of child objects of an object stored in the Name Mapping repository.
`NodeDescription`	Returns the description of an object stored in the Name Mapping repository.

Name	Description
`Index`	Specifies the object position in the onscreen control or window.
`Text`	Returns the text recognized by the Text Recognition technology.

If TestComplete has access to internal methods, properties and files of your tested application (that is, if it is an Open Application), you can call the internal methods and properties as methods and properties of the appropriate test objects. You can view these properties and methods in corresponding categories (Private, Public, RTTI, Debug Agent, Firefox, and so on). These methods and properties are not described in the TestComplete help file. For more information on them, please see the documentation for the development tools that was used to create the application under test.
