Thanks: Will do.
PS, I have the list of parent objects from the Focused Object to the DeskTop
getting listed now using the Accessible Object from the OnFocus Event in my
little VBScript so it's a start.

You might look at the TreeView app which provides much of this information.

Hi Guys: I am building a little vbscript. It will print the Properties of
some objects that have focus much like the FocusWindowDetective.
Some Properties are not valid for some objects throwing a runtime error. Is
there a way to check the existance of a Property for a object prior to testing
for It's contents?
Does the TypeName VBS Method fulfill this purpose?
I want to be able to hit a hot key at any focused point and have everything
about that Focused object listed along with the Parent Chain of objects with
all their details up to the Desktop or the main Overlap window. That means
checking the Properties of all the related objects but some objects have more
or less Properties and can throw an error if the Property is not valid for the
Object in question. Thus, I want to check if a Property is valid for the object
prior to testing it's contents to avoid the runtime error.
In the GW VisualStudio script I see where Aaron used the TypeName Method to
do some checking and I am wondering if that method will work for this purpose,
if it returns Null for example.
