| FindFirst(IntPtr) |
Finds the first item that matches this finder

 | index |
The index of the object to be located with this finder.
|
| MemberwiseClone()()() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| parent |
A nested finder (if there is one) - in{...}

RemarksWin32 finder strings can contain the following property identifiers:
Class - The Win32 ClassName of the object to find [Win32Automation.GetWin32ClassName]
Text - The text propery of the object to find [Win32Automation.GetWindowText]
Index - The index of this object within its parent (Class and Text are ignored if Index is used) [Win32Automation.GetChildWindows]
Win32 finders can be nested using in{} statements. When searching for an object
this class will locate the innermost "in{}" statement and find that object. Then it will
use it as the starting point to search for the next innermost "in" and so on till the
outermost finder object is found.
ExamplesWin32:Class=Button,Text=7,in{Class=SciCalc,Text=Calculator}
Win32:Index=65,in{Class=SciCalc,Text=Calculator}
