    Have you considered, rather than using a for loop to iterate through the objects to find the desired control, to use FindChild off of the ParentWindow object?

    When you do so, don't use the "Name" property in the search.  What you have as the "ControlName" should actually be a value of a property on the object itself.  Also, instead of "VisibileOnScreen" after you do the search, use "Exists" and raise an error if it cannot find the object.
