Using wildcard in object name

The control I am testing has the followif expression in the full name WinFormsObject("DocumentsHost", "", 2) This number 2 is dynamic. I want to use a wild card. May be a '*'.  Can any one suggest...

I'm having a similar issue. Did you manage to get a wild card working for an object name?

    Hi,

     

    Can you provide more details/screenshot of what does not work?
    What does not work if you use just WinFormsObject("<name>") ?

      Hi Alex,

       

      Just using WinFormsObject("<name>")  or WinFormsObject("DocumentsHost"), which you mentioned previously, works pretty well.

       

      Thank you for providing a great solution!
