How can I activate a child window using Nircmd?

I am trying to use the utility program Nircmd to activate a window using a batch file. I can easily activate a top-level window using:

nircmd win activate "titleofwindow"

But this does not work if the window is a child of a parent window. My parent window is Trade-Ideas and it has lots of child windows. I want to activate one of the child windows.

I was able to figure this out. To activate the child window, I used the following command: 

nircmd win activate title "titleofwindow"

So the piece that was missing was argument "title" between activate and the name of the window.
