Getting parent form

Post by atom » Mon Mar 23, 2009 7:10 pm

hiya

I have a Unkown control object, and i'd like to get the parent Form object.
I dont see anything in the API that can give me the parent form
Other than doing a search up the tree, is there an easier way ?

Regards

Just use

Form parentForm = yourControl.FindSingle<Form>("ancestor::form");

(this works for the parent form, grandparent form, etc..)

Use:

Code: Select all

Dim parentForm As Ranorex.Form = yourControl.FindSingle(Of Ranorex.Form)("ancestor::form")
