Parent Property (UIElement)

The parent/containing element (will be null for a top level/control element).

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property Parent As UIElement

C#

public UIElement Parent {get;}

Example

This code prints the UIElement heirarchy from the passed in point. Exemplifies use of the Parent property, and the method ElementFromPoint. (note: ultraProgressBar1 should be replaced by the variable representing the control you are hit testing on.)

Visual Basic

Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports System.Diagnostics

  	Private Sub PrintElementsFromPoint(ByVal p As Point)

      Dim element As UIElement = Me.ultraProgressBar1.UIElement.ElementFromPoint(p)

      While (Not element Is Nothing)
          Debug.WriteLine(element.GetType().ToString())
          Debug.Indent()
          element = element.Parent
      End While

      Debug.IndentLevel = 0

  	End Sub

C#

using Infragistics.Win;
using System.Diagnostics;

private void PrintElementsFromPoint(Point p)
{

	UIElement element = this.ultraProgressBar1.UIElement.ElementFromPoint(p);

	while(null != element)
	{
		Debug.WriteLine(element.GetType().ToString());
		Debug.Indent();
		element = element.Parent;
	}

	Debug.IndentLevel = 0;

}
