PARENTWIN Property

PLBCMP GUI Only

The PARENTWIN property associates a WINDOW object with a parent window. The property uses the following format:

PARENTWIN={value}

Note the following:

1. PARENTWIN may be used in CREATE, SETPROP, or GETPROP statements of a WINDOW object.

2. {value} specifies the parent window object for CREATE and SETPROP statements.

3. {value} returns the parent window handle in GETPROP statements.

4. If a WINDOW object specified for the PARENTWIN property has not been created, an O121 error will occur.

5. A WINDOW object that has been created as a MODAL or MODELESS type cannot be the parent for another window. An O134 error will occur if a MODAL or MODELESS window is specified as a parent window.

6. An O134 error will occur if this property is specified for a MODAL WINDOW object. A parent window cannot be specified for a MODAL WINDOW object.

7. The PARENTWIN property can be used for any window created as a PRIMARY or MODELESS type.

8. If a parent window is DESTROYed, any windows that are associated with the parent will also be destroyed.
