Parent-Child Linking of Controls (Magic xpa 4.x)

The Parent-Child feature lets you define a “parent” control to which “child” controls can be linked.

Activation

Linking is done in the Form Designer.

By default, all controls on a form are children of the form.

Each control may be assigned a parent control other than the form.

A control that is a parent for other controls can be a child of another control.

One or more controls may be assigned to the same parent control.

Parent-child relationships cannot be circular.

Controls that are children of a Table control cannot have other controls linked to them as children.

When only the parent control is deleted, all of the linked controls are also deleted. Since version: 3.0

Runtime Behavior

When a parent control becomes invisible, all its children are hidden.

When a parent control is disabled, all its children are disabled.

If an end user invokes Help when parked on a control that does not have a Help property, Magic xpa will search for and display the Help screen associated with the Help property of the current control’s parent. If the parent control also does not have a Help property, Magic xpa will continue to search ancestor controls until an ancestor with a Help property is found. Note that the primary ancestor is the form itself.
