GetInheritedOwner

Returns the inherited owner object of a control.

Syntax: GetInheritedOwner( Value ) As Object

Value

required Object. The control whose inherited owner is wanted.

For controls that participate in a control-container hierarchy, the inherited owner is the topmost owning object that supplies ambient settings --- typically the form. Returns Nothing when no inherited owner is set.

Example

This example reads the topmost container of a control and reports its type.

' Inside a VB control class
Dim host As Object
host = GetInheritedOwner(Me)
If Not host Is Nothing Then
    Debug.Print "Container: " & TypeName(host)
End If
