Hi Robert,

 

Thanks again for the help.

 

I've manage to create the array/s but there's still something i can't understand

 

This is my line of code to create the array for the first project - WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 1)

 

x = Aliases.QuickDesign_ConfigurationManager.BreadsScrumpTree.FunctionalItemsControl.Tree.WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 1).FindAllChildren("WPFControlText" , "Printer*" , 20).toArray()

 

Now, since each Project can have different number of arrays I need every time i want to check the number of printers under specific project to change this value WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 1) to WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 2) or WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 3), etc. somehow when using WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 2) i'm getting the right results - Printer 2, Printer, Printer 3 (Wrong order starting from the middle one I would also like to know why the order is wrong) when using WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 1) i'm getting 4 items in the array instead of only 2 - Printer 2, Printer 2, Printer, Printer  and for WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 3) there's no array created because (I Guess) there are no printers under this project. Can you please explain why and where do i get it wrong?

WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", *) is the only tree junction that i can destinguesh netween the projects - 

WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 1) - for project 1

WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 2) - for project 2

WPFObject("TreeViewItem", "", 3) - for project 3

............

 

See attached

 

Thanks

OK I've managed to solve it with the following code:

 

function CheckPrintersUnderProjects()
{
PropArray = "WPFControlText"
ValuesArray = "Printer*"
ProjectsArray = Aliases.QuickDesign_ConfigurationManager.HwndSource_This2.This.FunctionalItemsControl.Tree.FindAllChildren("ClrClassName", "TreeViewItem", 1).toArray()
for(j = ProjectsArray.length - 1 ; j >= 0 ; j--)
{
Log.AppendFolder("Printers Under " + ProjectsArray[j].DataContext.Project.Name.OleValue)
PrintersArray = ProjectsArray[j].FindAllChildren("WPFControlText", "Printer*", 6).toArray()
for( i = 0; i < PrintersArray.length; i++)
Log.Message(ProjectsArray[j].Items.Item(i).Name.OleValue)
Log.PopLogFolder()
}
}

 

But i must say that was cumbersome and took me quite a lot of time :-/

 

Do you think there's better way to do it?

 

I'm just afraid i'm working in the wrong way and don't want to spend time in the future.

 

Thx
