Returns LabVIEW project items that are descendents of the referenced item. If you specify a value for type, this method only returns project items of the specified type.

This method returns a flat list that includes all descendents unless you use the type, excludeDependencies, excludeBuilds, and excludeTargets parameters to limit what the method returns.

Syntax

object.GetAllDescendents(type, [excludeDependencies], [excludeBuilds], [excludeTargets])
