Designation of current element (Reserved word)

MyParent (Reserved word)

In french: MonParent

MyParent is used to handle:

The current supercontrol from an element of the supercontrol.
When running the window, MyParent is replaced by the supercontrol (and not by the name of the supercontrol). Then, MyParent is used like a supercontrol.
Benefit: MyParent is used to make the code of the controls found in the supercontrol (control, button, ...) or the code of the functions associated with the supercontrol independent of the supercontrol name.
The current report from one of the report controls.
The current window from one of the window controls.

Remarks

Handling the current supercontrol

MyParent is always replaced by the current supercontrol. For example, passing a parameter:

CallProcedure(MyParent)
MyParent can only be used in the processes that handle the current supercontrol (for example, in the processes associated with a control found in the supercontrol, in the procedures associated with the supercontrol, ...).

Using MyParent in a procedure

MyParent can be used in a procedure associated with the current supercontrol. In this case, MyParent refers to the current supercontrol.
