<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>Typically, in this overridden method you check if the parent type needs this special handling, and if it does not
(if its children are Control objects, so they can be found automatically by C1DynamicHelp), simply call the method of the base class
UIElementResolver: base.FindUIElement(parent, name).</p>
