Returns the name of the parent window of the active or specified window.
WPARENT([WindowName]) |
Parameters
- WindowName
- Specifies a window whose parent window name WPARENT(В ) returns. WPARENT(В ) returns the empty string if the specified window doesn't have a parent window. If you omit WindowName, WPARENT(В ) returns the name of the parent window of the active output window. WPARENT(В ) returns the empty string if the active output window doesn't have a parent window.
Return Value
Character
Remarks
You can use DEFINE WINDOW to create a window and place it in a parent window. The child window becomes integrated with its parent window. For example, a child window defined and activated inside a parent window can't be moved outside the parent window. If the parent window is moved, the child window moves with it.
Example
The following example defines a parent and child window. It then uses WPARENT(В ) to identify which window is the parent.
