ParentBand Property

Returns the parent UltraGridBand object of the current band (if it is a child band) or Null for band 0. This property is read-only.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property ParentBand As UltraGridBand

C#

public UltraGridBand ParentBand {get;}

Example

Following code illustrates ParentBand and ParentColumn properties and how they are related. UltraGridBand.ParentBand property returns the parent band of a band. It applies to child bands only since the top-most band (band with the index of 0) doesn't have any parent band. ParentColumn works in the same manner (that is the top-most band doesn't have a parent column) but it returns an UltraGridColumn object. A parent column of a child band associates the child band to its parent. Thus if a band has multiple child bands, then the parent column of each of the child bands will be different. These parent columns are also contained in the columns collection (collection returned by UltraGridBand.Columns property) of the parent band. Also these parent columns are chaptered (IsChaptered property off the columnn returns true).
