Find child - comSafe Array

Hello, 

 

I'm using the wnd caption with a find child statement to find a window in our software. The Find Child statement is returning the window as a comSafeArray object. I'm confused about this result. Properties of the object are now part of elements of the window. Is there an issue with how I used the findChild statement? 


var property = "WndCaption"
var objWnd = ritSysObj.FindAllChildren(property,strCaption,3)
Log.Picture(objWnd)

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

    Can you please try once with Find instead of FindAllChildren

    var objWnd = ritSysObj.Find(property,strCaption,3)

     

    Please let me know whether that works.

      Hello, 

       

      The "Find" command worked! Much appreciated! 

       

      I'm guessing that I was encountering some king of process  hierarchy issue. From what I understand, FindChild searches child objects while Find also searches the Tested object, or System process object in my case.

    Hi,

     

    What scripting language you are using?

    If it is JScript, then you should use .toArray() (see documentation for more details).

    I.e.:

    var objWnd = ritSysObj.FindAllChildren(property,strCaption,3).toArray();
