CwGetParent

### Syntax:

    hParent = CwGetParent(hObject)

            hParent         (handle) The parent of hObject.

            hObject         (handle) The object to examine.

### Description:

This function returns the parent of an object. The parent is defined as the thing containing the object. Currently, it may be either a view or a group. If the object referenced by "hObject" is in a group, the group handle is returned. Otherwise, the handle of the containing view is returned.

This function is useful for determining if an object is in a group.

### Example:

    /* Function to determine whether the given object is in a
       group or not. */

    inGroup:procedure
    parse arg handle

    h=CwGetParent(handle)
    if CwGetHandleType(h) = "View" then
            r = 0
    else
            r = 1
    return r
