Allen,

You could do it by simpifying the parameters and calling the external function with the actual object. Then you can get access to all properties, methods, parents, etc.

Ex:

ExternalFunction( This )


function External Function
lparameters loFromObject

*/ Get object hierarchy that you can later parse
*/ as you need
lcHierarcy = sys(1272, loFromObject)

*/ Then you can get anything else from the object
loFromObject.Parent
loFromObject.Parent.OtherButton.Click()
loFromObject.OtherProperty
etc.
etc.
