OBJECT.CONTAINER_GET Function

Syntax

Container as C = .Container_Get()

Description

Get the name of the container object for an object if any.

Discussion

The <OBJECT>.CONTAINER_GET() method applies to:

Form Controls (for <OBJECT> use the <CONTROL> pointer or the address of the control)

The <OBJECT>.CONTAINER_GET() method returns the name of the control's container. The method returns NULL ("") unless the control is placed within a container within the form. The method is useful when using tabbed controls and frames.

Example

dim ptr as P
dim fld as P
ptr = form.load("customerx")
fld = ptr.child("Fullname")
? fld.Container_Get()  -> "TABBED1.tabs.sheet[2]"

Limitations

Desktop applications only.
