Help with Array of GameObjects

Unity Engine
1

I am very new to Unity and to C# so I am sure there is a million things wrong with this code but I am hoping one of you will be able to get me through the error I am seeing. Ok here goes.

I have a prefab that contains 1 panel, 6 buttons, 2 text object and an image (10 total objects). When these object are loaded on the scene some of them are active and other are not (setactive = t/f). Because of the objects being inactive I can not use the GameObject.Find function to get a handle to them. So i decided to create a multidimensional array to store these object so I can reference them later.

I am getting the follow error:
ArgumentException: GetComponent requires that the requested component ‘GameObject’ derives from MonoBehaviour or Component or is an interface.
UnityEngine.GameObject.GetComponentsInChildren[GameObject] (Boolean includeInactive)

```csharp
*using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
using System;

public class EnumPanes : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject objMinerPanes;
public GameObject[,] objPaneIndex;

public void EnumMinerPanes()
{
    GameObject[] objMyChildren;
    int rows;
    int cols = 10;
    int i = 0;

    //Find all panel objects with tag "MinerPanes"
    objMinerPanes = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("MinerPanes");
    rows = objMinerPanes.Length;
    GameObject[,] objPaneIndex = new GameObject[rows, cols];

    //Add panel object to the 1st dimension of the array
    foreach (GameObject myPane in objMinerPanes)
    {
        objPaneIndex [i, 0] = myPane;
        objMyChildren = myPane.GetComponentsInChildren<GameObject> ();
        // load 1-9 with the right ojbjects
        foreach (GameObject kids in objMyChildren)
        {
            switch (kids.tag)
            {
            case "MinerLevelUp":
                objPaneIndex [i, 1] = kids;
                break;
            case "MinerImg":
                objPaneIndex [i, 2] = kids;
                break;
            case "MinerLevel":
                objPaneIndex [i, 3] = kids;
                break;
            case "MinerName":
                objPaneIndex [i, 4] = kids;
                break;
            case "MinerSkill1":
                objPaneIndex [i, 5] = kids;
                break;
            case "MinerSkill2":
                objPaneIndex [i, 6] = kids;
                break;
            case "MinerSkill3":
                objPaneIndex [i, 7] = kids;
                break;
            case "MinerSkill4":
                objPaneIndex [i, 8] = kids;
                break;
            case "MinerSkill5":
                objPaneIndex [i, 9] = kids;
                break;
            }
        }
        i++;
    }

    Debug.Log(objPaneIndex[0,1].name);
    Debug.Log(objPaneIndex[1,2].name);
    Debug.Log(objPaneIndex[2,3].name);
    Debug.Log(objPaneIndex[3,4].name);
    Debug.Log(objPaneIndex[4,5].name);
}

}*
```

Thanks in advance for the help.

A GameObject isn’t a component so you can’t use it in GetComponent. A Transform is however, and would conceptually work in this case for you. Also note that you can enumerate a Transform directly

foreach (var kid in myPane.transform)
{

}
