It's defined, but it's a function, not a procedure, requiring a string to
match some object's Name property. If your oTop object was created with
Name='oTop' (and other objects named similarly), you could then do this:

oTop = oView -> GetByName('oTop')
oGroup = oTop -> GetByName('oGroup')
oBox = oGroup -> GetByName('oBox')
oBox -> SetProperty, thick=3

Online help on IDLgrView::GetByName is helpful here.
