I am trying to get custom Web element types to show up under Object Identification using QTP 11.0 Web Extensibility Add-Ins.
I have four files in my extension as shown at the end of the question. My problem is that none of the objects show up in the Object Identification window. I thought I might be doing something wrong, so I loaded the GWT sample that comes with the SDK, but it doesn't show anything in Object Identification either!
Does QTP keep a log or any sort of debugging information about what kind of error I might have, or is it working as intended and these custom objects aren't even supposed to show up in the Object Identification window? If so, why?
