Hi, Pete. It may be a tricky way to get name from IAText::text because of hierarchical text representation (traverse through whole tree and build name). Also this is not quite the same, subtree that name is calculated from can contain accessible having name different from their IAText::text what affects on the result name. Another point of view this approach is not too perf way to check whether it's real name or computed.
Thank you. Alex.
