Jackie, You use this function when you know the object name and want the other object information such as subtype, value, etc. One example is: if !GetObjectInfoByName (GetAppMainWindow ( GlobalFocusWindow ) , ON_HISTORY , 1 , iSubType , giState , sValue) then ;Continue to process This function returns TRUE or FALSE depending on if the operation is successful or not, and you just need to supply the window handle containing the object, along with the object name (ON_HISTORY in this case) -- and the level of the object in the hierarchy. The other parameters are returned back to you by the function itself - by reference.
