M_AMLEngineExtensions_NavigationExtensions_FindByXPath__1_1

NavigationExtensions.FindByXPath(T) Method (CAEXFileType, String)

Searches an object in the whole document that has the given Path. The search bases on XPath and is slow. For speed optimization, use FindFastByPath instead. If your CAEX file has changed, update the hash tables before using this function using updateCAEXObjectHashLists before.
