window window.GetChild()

Applicable Classes: All

Description:
GetChild returns the first child window of the calling window. If this window has no child, this function returns a null window. To retrieve other child windows, use the GetPrevSibling and GetNextSibling functions.

Example Code

use "PhantomTarget.dec";
System("PhantomTarget.exe");

# Bring up a controls box
PhantomTarget._Controls.Combo_Box.Select();

int ChildCount = 0;

# Get first child
window Child = Combo.GetChild();

# While the child is not a null window
while(Child){
  ChildCount++;

  # Display information about the child
  disp("Tag: " + Child.Tag + "; Class: " + Child.Class);

  # If the child has children, say so
  if(Child.GetChild()){
    disp(" --> Has Children");
  }

  # Get the child's next sibling
  Child = Child.GetNextSibling();
}

disp("Window has " + string(ChildCount) + " direct children");

# Exit out
Combo.OK.Click();
PhantomTarget.Close();
