I'm trying to modify "Select current function" item in the Memory View Form, accessing it with this code:

Code:

local form = getMemoryViewForm()
local item = form.MenuItem2

It used to work on CE 7.4 but doesn't work on 7.5. I reckon there might've been some changes. I'd like to know how I can iterate over Memory View's items until I find the correct class name using Caption for comparison.

I'd just look at the source code. Find the relevant lfm file (i.e. Cheat Engine/MemoryBrowserFormUnit.lfm) and search for the caption of the GUI component you want to find. The name is how you access it.

Code:

local mi = getMemoryViewForm().miSelectCurrentFunction

If you really want to iterate over components:

Code:

local form = getMemoryViewForm()
for i = 0, form.ComponentCount - 1 do
local c = form.Component[i]
print(c.Name)
end

Most things are owned by the form itself, but if you want everything, you'll need to do that recursively.

You're the best, ParkourPenguin. That's exactly what I wanted to know
