FindChild |
| Finds a named object that is part of the component | |
 - HANDLE
|
Current |
| Object to search children of | |
 - STRING
|
ChildName |
| Name of the child to search for | |
| - HANDLE
|
Return |
Detailed description
This call will search the components owned and in scope for the non-case sensitive ChildName.
This call is unnecessary if 'this' is passed as Current and ChildName is a literal string. In this case it is more efficient to use the constant variable which will point to the child component.
Examples
Calling in a calculation
- Declare a variable 'result' of type HANDLE
- Add to a calculation icon:
result = ::Component.FindChild(current, "childname")
