GetParent Function

Class

AnyWin class.

Returns the parent of the window.

wParentWin = window.GetParent()

Variable	Description
`wParentWin`	The parent of the window. WINDOW.

The following code sample gets the parent window of a message box:

WINDOW wParent = MessageBox.GetParent()

To get the caption and the window class name of the parent window, you can use the following code:

STRING sParentCaption = wParent.GetProperty("caption").ToString()
STRING sParentClassName = wParent.GetProperty("windowClassName").ToString()

If you call this function on the DesktopWin class, Silk Test Classic raises an exception.
Backward compatibility: In previous releases, GetParent returned a window tag instead of an object-oriented identifier. Use the OPT_REL1_CLASS_LIBRARY option to specify use of the pre-Release 2 version of this method.
