I wrote this custom function for you based on the information you provided. See if it helps you at all:
function main(){
wshell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');
/*
how you can call the search function when your control has a name
*/
var myFoundControl = findWPFControl("DBUtilities","DBUtilities","Button*Archive Jobs","2");
/*
returns the wpf control with really long name:
Sys.Process("DBUtilities").WPFObject("HwndSource: MainWindow", "DBUtilities 10.00.1622 | PROTO")
.WPFObject("MainWindow", "DBUtilities 10.00.1622 | PROTO", 1).WPFObject("Grid", "", 1)
.WPFObject("busyIndicator").WPFObject("Grid", "", 1).WPFObject("borderTasks").WPFObject("Grid", "", 1)
.WPFObject("StackPanel", "", 1).WPFObject("GroupBox", "Archival Options", 2)
.WPFObject("StackPanel", "", 1).WPFObject("Button", "Archive Jobs", 2)
*/
if (myFoundControl){
wshell.popup(myFoundControl.FullName);
}
/*
how you can call the search function when your control DOES NOT have a name
note the difference in the controlType parameter and how I pass the parent object name to narrow my search
additional "keywords" can be specified or the findall parameters within the findWPFControl function may be modified similarly
