An object, either a widget or screen, that has been copied from a repository to an application screen. It has an inheritance relationship with the parent object in the repository, so that if any changes are made to the parent, they also affect any children of that parent.
An object that is the immediate subordinate of another object in a hierarchy. A child object can have only one immediate superior, or parent, object. In Active Directory, the schema determines what classes of objects can be child objects of what other classes of objects. Depending on its class, a child object can also be the parent of other objects. See also object; parent object.
an independent object whose behavior is determined by its parent script. Each child object is an independent instance of the parent script. See method, ancestor, inheritance.
An object that resides in another object. A child object implies relation. For example, a file is a child object that resides in a folder, which is the parent object. See also: object; parent object
