FindOwnerControl function

In unit Controls

Returns the TWinControl for the given Handle; the parent control for a non-TWinControl Handle.

Declaration

pascal

function FindOwnerControl(Handle: HWND): TWinControl

Description

Handle can also be a child handle (of a TControl), in which case the returned control is the parent of the desired control. Parent, not Owner as suggested by the function name!

The function recursively tries GetParent(Handle), so the result depends on the implementation (meaning) of a parent handle.
