    You can capture the object whose child objects are required.

    Later ChildCount property could be used to get the count and Child (Index) to iterate through the children.

     

    Consider the following VBScript snippet:

    Dim iChildCount,arrChildObj

Set objParent = page.find(arrProp,arrValue,Depth)     'get the parent Object
iChildCount = objParent.ChildCount                          ' no of child object

For i = 0 To iChildCount
  Set arrChildObj(i) = objParent.Child(i)
Next

Presume you could also use "FindAllChildren" as normal as well.

 

Except use "Id" as your property (as all objects have an Id don't they?), "*" as the property value (so it'll find everything) and a depth of 1 (to only get direct children of the parent).

 

You could also modify this to exclude hidden objects by expanding the search parameter arrays.
