Okay, here's a sample window, written through my Interface Writer.

xml code:

This is code from Screenshot Sender to enumerate controls it could be altered to do what you would need it to do:

js code:

---

/*
    Name:     EnumControls
    Purpose:    Enum the controls from a specified window
    Parameters: File - The name of the file
             pPlusWnd - The Plus! window object
    Return:     None
*/
function EnumControls ( File , pPlusWnd ) {
    _debug.getfuncname ( arguments ) ;
    // Load the XML from the specified file
    var XML = new ActiveXObject ( 'MSXML.DOMDocument' ) ;
    XML.load ( File ) ;
    // Loop through all of the controls
    var Controls = XML.selectNodes ( '/Interfaces/Window [ @Id='' + pPlusWnd.WindowId + '' ] /Controls/Control' ) ;
    for ( i=0 ; i<Controls.length ; i ++) {
        var Id = Controls [ i ].getAttribute ( 'Id' ) ;
        var Type = Controls [ i ].getAttribute ( 'xsi:type' ) ;
        // Get the value depending on the control's type
        objControls [ Id ] = {} ;
        objControls [ Id ].XsiType = Type ;
        objControls [ Id ].Value = pPlusWnd_GetControlvalue ( pPlusWnd , Id , Type ) ;
    }
}

You could use some recursion for that.
The following code should enumerate all windows and all controls in those windows and all the children in those controls. Accessing such an element could then be done like this:

js code:

---

var Windows = EnumWindows("Interfaces.xml");
var ImageName = Windows["WndTest"].Controls["BtnOk"].Children["Image"].Name.Text;
Debug.Trace(ImageName);

---

js code:

---

/*
    Enumerates all windows in a file with all their controls
*/

var objWindows = { } ;

function EnumWindows ( File ) {
    // Load the XML from the specified file
    var XML = new ActiveXObject ( 'MSXML.DOMDocument' ) ;
    XML.async = false ;
    XML.load ( File ) ;
    // Loop through all of the windows
    var Windows = XML.selectNodes ( '/Interfaces/Window' ) ;
    for ( var i=0 ; i<Windows.length ; i ++) {
        // Get the current window
        var Node = Windows [ i ] ;
        // Create a new object
        var objWindow = { } ;
        objWindow.Id = Node.getAttribute ( 'Id' ) ;
        objWindow.Controls = EnumControls( Node ) ;
        // Add to collection
        objWindows [ Id ] = objWindow;
    }
    // Return all windows
    return objWindows ;
}

function EnumControls ( Window ) {
    var objControls = { } ;
    // Loop through all of the controls
    var Controls = Window.selectNodes ( '/Controls/Control' ) ;
    for ( var i=0 ; i<Controls.length ; i ++) {
        // Get the current control
        var Node = Controls [ i ] ;
        var Id = Node.getAttribute ( 'Id' ) ;
        var Type = Node.getAttribute ( 'xsi:type' ) ;
        // Create a new object
        var objControl = { } ;
        objControl.Id = Id ;
        objControl.XsiType = Type ;
        if( Node.hasChildNodes() ) objControl.Children = EnumControlChildren ( Node ) ;
        // Add to collection
        objControls [ Id ] = objControl ;
    }
    // Return collected controls
    return objControls ;
}

function EnumControlChildren( Node ) {
    objChildren = { } ;
    // Loop through all of the children
    var Children = Node.childNodes ;
    for( var i=0; i<Children.length; i ++) {
        // Get the current child
        var Child = Controls [ i ] ;
        var NodeName = Child.nodeName ;
        // Create a new object
        var objChild = { } ;
        objChild.TagName = Child.nodeName;
        // Enumerate all attributes
        var Attrs = Child.attributes;
        for( var j=0 ; j<Attrs.length ; j ++) {
            var Attr = Attrs [ j ] ;
            objChild [ Attr.name ] = Attr.text ;
        }
        // Enumerate all children through recursion
        if( Child.hasChildNodes() ) objChild.Children = EnumControlChildren ( Child ) ;
        else objChild.Text = Node.text;
        // Add to collection
        var NodeId = Child.getAttribute ( 'Id' ) ;
        if(NodeId !== null) objChildren [ NodeId ] = objChild ;
        else objChildren [ NodeName ] = objChild ;
    }
    // Return collected children
    return objChildren ;
}

Looks good Matti... but shouldn't you be working on something else

I can't test it at the moment, but I'll try it tomorrow.
