    I am afraid this is not possible. If I remember it right, documentation says that 'or' condition (via regexp) can be used for property values only, but not for the property names. That is why I think that what you are looking for is not possible (at the moment, hopefully) and I do not have at the moment any better idea than two subsequent calls to .FindAll() like you do now.

If you read the help file for FindAll Method, it shows

    When passing arrays of properties/values to FindAll, it will search by matching each property to each value. That is,  FindAll(['WndClass', 'ClassName'], ['Button', 'TButton'], 20)   will find objects that have WndClass='Button' AND ClassName='TButton'.


    What I need is the ability to write something like  FindAll(['WndClass', 'ClassName'], 'Button', 20)  and find objects that have WndClass='Button' OR ClassName='Button'
