MiniRobotLanguage (MRL)

 

GCT. Command

Get Childs Topwindow

 

 

Intention

 

The GCT-Command can be used to return the Top-Window of the currently located Window, whether it is a child or a Top-Window.

 

If you have multiple equal Top-Windows, and you need to locate a "Non-unique" button in just one of them, GCT. and SCW. will help you to do the trick.

 

First use the SCW.-command with the "T"-Flag to search directly a "unique child-window" (static, button etc.) in the proper application-window. Next use GCT. to get the Top-Window of it. From that point you can locate another control in that window, using SCW..

 

You can use SAO to search a Desktop-Element and get the Top-Window using GCT.

 

GCT. will also set the Backjump-Line to its line number. Therefore all following SCW. will rollback to GCT.

 

 

 

Syntax

 

 

GCT.[P1][|P2]
