Comments

Deprecated - Provided for compatibility with earlier versions only - Use Item.Parent instead

The Parent property returns the index of an item's parent item.

To find an item's top-most parent, use the Item.TopParent property instead.

Visual Basic: The Parent property implemented by the tree control is hidden by Visual Basic's own Parent property. To access the tree control's property use the following construct:

parentIndex = Tree1.Object.Parent(9)

The "Object" keyword is implemented by Visual Basic to access to an object's properties directly. See the Visual Basic documentation for more information.

.NET: Please note the use of Ctlget_Parent, instead of Parent. Please see "Using SftTree/OCX with .NET" for additional information.
