Parent Property (UltraTreeNode)

Gets the parent UltraTreeNode of the node.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property Parent As UltraTreeNode

C#

public UltraTreeNode Parent {get;}

Remarks

For a root node, the return value is Nothing

Example

The following sample code illustrates how UIElements can be used. It finds out what element the user clicked on and outputs some context information about the element.

Visual Basic

Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinTree

Private Sub ultraTree1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ultraTree1.Click

    Dim mainElement As UIElement
    Dim element As UIElement
    Dim screenPoint As Point
    Dim clientPoint As Point
    Dim node As UltraTreeNode

    ' Get the control's main element
    mainElement = Me.ultraTree1.UIElement

    ' Convert the current mouse position to a point
    ' in client coordinates of the control.
    screenPoint = Control.MousePosition
    clientPoint = Me.ultraTree1.PointToClient(screenPoint)

    ' Get the element at that point
    element = mainElement.ElementFromPoint(clientPoint)

    If element Is Nothing Then Return

    Debug.WriteLine("Clicked on an " + element.GetType().ToString())
    Debug.Indent()

    ' Get the group that this element is contained in.
    node = element.GetContext(GetType(UltraTreeNode))

    If Not node Is Nothing Then
        Debug.WriteLine("in node: " + node.Key + " - " + node.Text)
    End If

    ' Walk up the parent element chain and write out a line 
    ' for each parent element.
    While Not element.Parent Is Nothing
        element = element.Parent
        Debug.WriteLine("is a child of an " + element.GetType().ToString())
        Debug.Indent()
    End While

    'reset the indent level
    Debug.IndentLevel = 0

End Sub

C#

private void ultraTree1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

	UIElement mainElement;

	// Convert the current mouse position to a point
	// in client coordinates of the control.
	screenPoint = Control.MousePosition;
	clientPoint = this.ultraTree1.PointToClient( screenPoint );

	// Get the element at that point
	element = mainElement.ElementFromPoint( clientPoint );

	if ( element == null )
		return;

	Debug.WriteLine( "Clicked on an " + element.GetType().ToString() );

	// Get the node that contains this element.
	node = element.GetContext( typeof( UltraTreeNode ) )
					as UltraTreeNode;
	
	if ( node != null )
		Debug.WriteLine( "in node: " + node.Key +" - " + node.Text );

	// Walk up the parent element chain and write out a line 
	// for each parent element.
	while (element.Parent != null )
	{
		element = element.Parent;
		Debug.WriteLine("is a child of an " + element.GetType().ToString());
		Debug.Indent();
	}

	// reset the indent level
