ParentObject (Function)

In french: ParentObjet

Example

// COL_Column1 is in TABLE_Table1, which is in the WIN_Window2 window,
// which is the child of the WIN_Window1 window
ParentObject(COL_Column1) // Returns "TABLE_Table1"
ParentObject(TABLE_Table1) // Returns "WIN_Window2"
ParentObject(WIN_Window2) // Returns "WIN_Window1"

Syntax

<Result> = ParentObject(<Object name>)

<Result>: Character string

If <Object name> is a control, <Result> corresponds to the name of the window (or page) to which the control belongs (even if the control is in a tab).
If <Object name> is a column, <Result> corresponds to the name of the Table control.
If <Object name> is a window, <Result> corresponds to the name of the parent window (or to an empty string ("") if <Object name> has no parent window).
If <Object name> is a page, <Result> corresponds to the name of the frameset (or to an empty string ("") if <Object name> has no frameset).

<Object name>: Character string

Name of the object (control, window, page, column) whose parent must be found. A WLanguage error occurs if the object is unknown.
