WebContainer parent

Targets Web
1

I am trying to come up with a method equivalent to desktop ContainerControl.TrueWindow :

dim w as webcontainer = self while w.parent <> nil system.debuglog(w.parent.name) w = w.parent wend

The code is in a button on a container control within two successive WebContainers, finally placed as an instance on a WebPage.

So the parent should be a container control. I get an error :

[quote]Type mismatch error. Expected WebContainer, but got class WebView.
w = w.parent[/quote]

There is no WebView whatsoever in the project. It looks very much like a bug, does it not ?

I don’t understand, this works fine :

system.debuglog(self.parent.name) system.debuglog(self.parent.parent.name) system.debuglog(self.parent.parent.parent.name)

Webpage, WebContainer and WebDialog are all subclasses of WebView, which is a subclass of WebObject. WebControl is also a subclass of WebObject.

Correction. WebView inherits from WebControl.

You should be able to look at the Page property though (although it may not be set for dynamically created controls).

Thank you. Now it works great with

dim w as WebView = self while w.parent <> nil system.debuglog(w.parent.name) w = w.parent wend
