The following are some notes on how to develop a Silk4J-based test library for Robot Framework to use the Borland Silk GUI automation tool/library.

Suggest use Silk4J GUI element/object location inline object model (identify object & execute automation all in one line of code):

desktop.<controlType>find("/windowHandleType[@caption='window title']//controlType[@automationId='idName']").commandName();

At the control type descriptor for automation ID, the automation ID is only the required first array index to locating the object/element. As I recall, there can be optional second index after it that further describes the object/element, but I forget it's syntax, but it goes like such of course:

...//controlType[@automationId='idName'][some other identification here]").commandName();
