Have you ever got frustrated with the arbitrary names QTP give to test-objects?

When you want it to take the name from the “HTML ID”, it takes it from the the object’s “CLASS”; When you want it to take the “PROG ID”, it takes it from the “NATIVECLASS”; and in general, it seems that QTP has a very poor logic when it comes to choosing Test-Object names.

Actually, QTP has a very good logic, it’s just the it works on avarage, and is bound to fail in some applications. Luckily, we can override it, and force QTP to name objects according to the properties we choose. This QTip will show you how.

Motivation
The QTP native log has many drawbacks, especially if your scripts relay heavily on Functions. While Actions are reported in an hierarchical structure (i.e. nested according to their call chain), events reported by function are reported in a flat, unsorted manner. This can be illustrated by the following example:
