About the brackets usage.

As I know, bracket[] is used for methods, and () is used for parameters.
so does that mean the this statement is wrong?


var p, w;

p = Sys["Process"]("My_NET_App");

w = p["WinFormsObject"]["MainForm"]; // Obtains MainForm




I found it in the TC manual booklet.

    Am a novice userand have some questions relating to window object references.. 



    1.  Is there a white paper or help topic that gives a complete description of the object reference syntax:  brackets, parentheses and how they map to functions, function parameters, properties, property values and controls.   



    2.  Is it legitimate to concatenate references together as in:



    var p = ["xxx"]["yyy"]("zzz");

    waitSubChild(p)



    function waitSubChild(p)

    {

         var q;

         q = Aliases["mmm"][nnn] + p;

         Sys["Process"]("WINWORD")["WaitChild"](q, -1, 30000)

    }



    3.  Is there a wildcard symbol one can use in a window reference to indicate that one doesn't know how deep the heirarchy is.  E.g.

    Sys["Process"]("WINWORD")["**"]["WinFormsObject"]("WAPDockableWindowDetailCaption", "Elements")["Visible"]

    Hi,

    See the "Writing C# Scripts" help topic. If you need general information on syntax, see MSDN on JScript.

    No, you need to obtain objects one by one.

    You can use Name Mapping's Extended Find to do this (see the "Using Extended Search Criteria for Mapped Object Identification" help topic).
