EssOtlFindAlias() finds a member with the specified alias name and returns a handle to the member.
ESS_FUNC_M EssOtlFindAlias (hOutline, pszAlias, pszAliasTable, phMember);
| ESS_HOUTLINE_T | hOutline |
| ESS_STR_T | pszAlias |
| ESS_STR_T | pszAliasTable |
| ESS_PHMEMBER_T | phMember |
| hOutline | Outline context handle. |
| pszAlias | Alias name to find. |
| pszAliasTable | Alias table to search in. Use ESS_NULL to search all alias tables. Use "Default" to search the default alias table. |
| phMember | Variable for the return of the member handle. ESS_NULL if the member is not found. |
