Help with VLCNETObject (tree) and finding its items

Hello all, I am trying to figure out if I can write a script to try and select an item in a tree view object. Unfortunately, the tree view in question doesn't have SelectItem()/ClickItem() methods i...

I let GPT have a go...  This may allow you get a richer version of the tree and run a find method against it instead.  However it's only a little better than flying blind because you can't browse the objects.  This does keep it out of the project scope. I don't know if it will work.  I have bever tried it.  Maybe some clues for a slick way to solve this here?

function getTree() {
  var p = Sys.Process("Intepro");
  var tree = null;

  try {
    tree = p.UIAObject("TDBTree");   // UIA first
    if (!tree.Exists)
      tree = p.VCLNETObject("DBTree"); // fallback
  } catch (ex) {
    tree = p.VCLNETObject("DBTree");
  }

  return tree;
}

var treeObj = getTree();
Log.Message("Found: " + treeObj.FullName);

    🤣 I ran round a circle here...  This is more or less what you were doing in the first place minus the MSAA thing...  Well...  So if you have verified vlcNetTree is valid and added a valid PropertyName, Value and Depth in the parameters for findchild use FindAllChildren to return an array of what objects are there if any...

      wow, thanks for all your effort to try and help me. I shall give it a try again once I can. I will update my progress in this post. Cheers

      Note: I have written a script for trying to find the parent tree (VLCNETObject) . it is there and found it...but I couldn't dive deeper than that just yet.
