Thanks for the quick reply.  Yes, all requirements met.  Please see attached for an example of my object tree.  TC finds the objects through Object Spy (red-highlights individual objects).  But as mentioned, all (almost all) are id'd as Panel objects.  Very limiting for identification and useful methods/functions.

    OK...update.  It looks like we're using an ancient version of Electron - 1.6.  Good grief.  I see TC starts support at 1.8.2.  LOL.  Maybe that's it.
