ParentForm property (WinStudio scripts)

Applies To

IWSForm interface

Definition

Returns the parent form object of a modal child or linked form object. Read-only.

Syntax

object.ParentForm

Part	Description
object	Required. A modal child or linked form object.

Remarks

You can use this property to access a form when multiple instances of the same form are open and they cannot be distinguished by the property ParentFormName.

If the specified form is not a modal child or linked form, a run-time error is generated. You can examine the properties IsLinkedChild and IsModalFindChild to determine the status of the form, or you can use the Visual Basic keywords Is Nothing to test the object status.

Sub Main()
    If ThisForm.IsLinkedChild Then
       ThisForm.ParentForm.GenerateEvent("StdFormRefreshCurrent")
    End If
 End Sub
