Child objects with UFT
Question ID: 107840

I have a Windows dialog on which lives a ToolbarWindow32 object. Visually speaking, there are buttons on the toolbar, but I haven’t been able to get any information about individual buttons. Is there a way to use ChildObjects to retrieve the names of the buttons? The code below is returning 0. Am I using ChildObjects correctly?

Set oDesc = Description.Create()
oDesc ("to_class").Value=".*"
Set children= Dialog("MYDIALOG").WinToolbar("ToolbarWindow32").ChildObjects (oDesc)
MsgBox children.count

I see the code is using Regular expression. Regular expressionis not set by default. Recommend trying following code first:

Set children= Dialog(''MYDIALOG'').WinToolbar(''ToolbarWindow32'').ChildObjects ()
MsgBox children.count

If you want to use regular expression

Set oDesc = Description.Create()
oDesc (''to_class'').Value=''.*''
oDesc (''PropName'').RegularExpression = False
Set children= Dialog(''MYDIALOG'').WinToolbar(''ToolbarWindow32'').ChildObjects (oDesc)
MsgBox children.count

I find most of the time dealing with dialogs I end up using device replay to invoke keyboard short cuts or tabs. If that does not work you can always use Insight.

If this answer works for you please mark it for others.
