PM58164: RFT8211 : .name prperty is null and RFT placed wrong test object

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment
  RFT 8.2.1.1
  Windows XP SP3
  AUT PowerBuilder 10.5
  
  Problem description:
  First, selecting any datawindow in this map will show that what
  is used as a .name property is in fact the value of the Title
  given to the datawindow. This Title is also used as the value of
  the .text property.  This therefore gives double the weight
  (150) to that title, while giving 0 weight to the real object
  name. The datawindow's name is indeed available to RFT, as it
  uses it as its Descriptive Name (#name) value. The
  PBWin32.DataWindowControlProxy should use THIS value for the
  .name recognition property, not the Title.
  
  Second, RFT places objects in the WRONG location in the map
  tree. This, because window recognition properties are not
  sufficiently unique. You will notice that there is a FNWND3105
  window as a child of the MDI. This FNWND3105 window, in its
  turn, has ONE child FNWND3105 window, which contains all the
  objects seen on ALL tabs of the Test demo application. This is
  WRONG, as there should be one such child window for EACH tab in
  the application, and the controls within that tab should be
  appropriately located on the right child window.
