Frank, Lynn,
If you are on a control (like a DataWindow control), then
ltabpage_1 = GetParent()
will give you the TabPage, rather than the Tab.
So you would need to add a reference to the TabPage like this
ltabpage_1 = this.GetParent()
ltab_parent = ltabpage_1.GetParent( )
to get a reference to the Tab that the TabPage is on.
// For a control, add one more level of GetParent()
// because the parentage is DataWindow -> TabPage -> Tab
u_tab a_tab
u_tabpg a_tab_page
a_tab_page = this.GetParent()
a_tab = a_tab_page.GetParent()
Lynn, to get the parent Window, you can simply use the PFC function
of_GetParentWindow().
Have fun,
~Sharon
