Syntax parentObject = object.Parent
Element Description
parentObject The object that is the parent of the
specified object.
object Any object for which the parent is
desired.
Data Type Object.
Read/Write Read only.
Added to API Depends on the object used to access the property. Generally,
this property exists for an object as soon as the object is
added to the API.
Comments The parent object is determined by the means in which a
child object is accessed, not by the OpenLNS Object
hierarchy.
ParentInterface
Summary Returns the Interface object to which the LonMarkObject
belongs .
Each AppDevice on a network contains an Interface property
containing the device’s main interface, and an Interfaces
collection containing the custom interfaces that have been
added to the device dynamically. The interfaces each contain
network variables and LonMarkObjects that reflect the
device’s functionality on the network.
The ParentInterface property returns the
Interface object to
which the LonMarkObject belongs. In the case of static
LonMarkObjects and network variables, this property
returns the main device interface or device template the
object is associated with. In the case of a dynamic
LonMarkObject and network variables, it returns the custom
interface to which the object belongs.
The ParentInterface property is read-only. However, you can
move a dynamic network variable or LonMarkObject from
one custom interface to another with the MoveToInterface
method.
Availability Local, full, and lightweight clients.
