How/where can I do this?

Child window triggers are controlled by their parent windows properties. So exactly what type of information are you trying to trigger in your child window? That information was most likely passed to the child window by the parent, so the parent should already have the information, and can process the data, then pass the result back to the child window if necessary.

Basically, a little more information in what you're looking for would be amazingly helpful.

Every window has its own triggers (and other settings). If you want a child window to have a trigger, you need to make that trigger in the child window.

Select(click on) the child window, and while it has focus, click the settings button or triggers button. This will open a new settings editor for the child window where you can create/edit the settings for the child window.

ty.. I know this stuff is trivial to those of you who have been working with these things for some time.

Actually what I'd like to do is timestamp tells and guild chat in a child window.

This trigger was previously posted by someone else:

#TR {~[Imp~](*)$} {#sub {~(%time( "hh:mm")~) ~[Imp~]{%1}}}

However, in my case the delimiter for the guild chat name is ( and ) as in (Minions). Since parens are used in the trigger anyway, how would one indicate that those parens are part of the pattern?

The same way as [ and ].
#TR {~(Minions~)(*)$} {#sub {~(%time( "hh:mm")~) ~(Minions~){%1}}}

If this trigger is in the child window, it would be better to only substitute the part that's actually being changed.
#TR {~(Minions~)} {#SUB {%time( hh:nn) ~(Minions~)}}
