MWAPI - PARENT

1995 Version of ANSI (Equivalent to Current ISO Version) of Standard

PARENT identifies the window that is this window’s parent. If a window has a parent window, it (a) becomes invisible when its parent becomes invisible or is iconified; (b) if its VISIBLE attribute is TRUE, becomes visible when its parent becomes visible and is not iconified; and (c) is destroyed if its parent is destroyed.

If a window’s parent is a display, the PARENT wattribute is not defined.

The effect of assigning a value for the PARENT wattribute which causes a single window to be both an ancestor and a descendant of another window is not specified.
