    If you are wanting to use Find or FindEx to search for that object, a suggested bit of code would be something like

     

    //parentObject is whatever you have designated as an ancestor of the object you are trying to find

//First parameter is an array of strings representing the names of the properties to be used in the search

//Second parameter is an array of strings representing the respective values of those properties for the search

//Third parameter is the maximum depth down in the hierachy tree, starting with the parent object, to search for the object which has properties of those names with those values


parentObject.Find(['ObjectType', 'ViewId'], ['Layout', 'NO_ID'], 10)

    PropNames and PropValues are arrays to send the properties and their respected values for the object you're looking for.  For the screenshot you have given, you've already mapped the component, so there's no need to "find" it.  So, let's go with a different example....  from the same article you found the information on.

        I think you are not aware what is PropNames and PropValues means here. It can be a single string or it can be a array of property.

         

        Based on your screen shot,

         

        Ex1:

        if your object can be identified with one property then you can do like below,

        yourParentObject.Find("JavaClassName","ScrollView",1,true,10000);

         

        if your object needs be identified with more then one property then you can do like below,

        yourParentObject.Find(["JavaClassName","ObjectType"],["ScrollView","ScrollView"],1,true,10000);
