The FIRST-CHILD attribute serves as a tool to query the first created child dialog element, that is, the dialog element one level below the (parent) dialog element. An example of such a child-parent relationship between dialog elements is the relationship between a dialog and several push button controls inside. With the FIRST-CHILD attribute, you query the push button control that has been created first inside the dialog. You use this attribute in conjunction with the SUCCESSOR attribute to "travel" through the hierarchy of dialog elements.
