Children and descendants refer to the tree of UI elements shown in Ranorex Spy. The children of an element P are the elements in the next level of the tree that have P as parent. The descendants of element P are all the elements in the subtree underneath P, i.e. the children of P, the children of the children, and so on. See the following graphical example:

Code: Select all

Element
|- Child/Descendant 1
|- Child/Descendant 2
|   \- Descendant 21
|   \- Descendant 22
|- Child/Descendant 3
\- Child/Descendant 4
    \- Descendant 41
        \- Descendant 411

You can also use RxPath to achieve the same functionality: FindChildren<Button>() for example is equivalent to Find<Button>("button").
