FindChild method

The FindChild method gets an interface to a child object that is referenced by ID (name). You can use this method when you need to get the interface to a child object for which you only know the name.

If the method references a field and the same ID is used within multiple page objects, the method returns the first matching field.

Syntax

VBScript

oDCO FindChild (lpszName as String ) as Boolean.

C#

TDCOLib.DCO FindChild(string lpszName)

Arguments

lpszName: The ID (name) of the child object.

Returns

Returns an interface to the child object if successful; returns nothing if unsuccessful.

VBScript example

This example returns the interface to the Client_ID field, and displays the interface in a message box.

Dim objRTClFld
