Escaping ? character in FindAllChildren

Anyone know if its possible to use FindAllChildren where the value you are looking for is a ?

I've tried using \? to escape the character but that doesn't work.

 

 

var property = ["WPFControlText", "ClrClassName"];
var value = ["?", "DataGridCell"];
var rowFound = alias.FindAllChildren(property, value, 50).toArray();

    * can be escaped as **, but there's no escape sequence for ?.

     

    You'll need to search by some other value, or manually loop through the objects and compare WPFControlText with "?".

    What happens when you try the code that you have here with "?"

      Every dataGrid cell is found and not just the the two with ?

      I've tried using \? but this returns nothing.

      If it's not possible i'll try another way.
