Widget::GetOwningWindow

Defined in: C4Widgets.h

Returns the window to which a widget belongs.

Prototype

Window *GetOwningWindow(void) const;

Description

The GetOwningWindow function returns a pointer to the window to which a widget belongs. If the widget is not part of a window, then the return value is nullptr.

Note that the GetOwningWindow function does not necessarily return the same widget as the Widget::GetRootWidget function when a widget is in a window. It is possible for a window to contain other types of root widgets that contain widgets themselves.
