Parent Property
Returns the name of the form, object, or collection that contains a specific control, object, or collection.
Syntax
object.Parent
The Parent property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Required. A valid object. |
Remarks
Parent is read-only.
Use the Parent property to access the properties, methods, or controls of an object's parent.
This property is useful in an application in which you pass objects as arguments. For example, you could pass a control variable to a general procedure in a module, and use Parent to access its parent form.
