Fc9-comp-macro.png FindChild
Finds a named object that is part of the component 
Fc9-h32-icon.png - HANDLE Current
Object to search children of 
Fc9-string-icon.png - STRING ChildName
Name of the child to search for 
Fc9-h32-icon.png - 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")
