The ClassParent method or DelphiVCL.Application.ClassParent is used during Windows app development to return the type of the immediate ancestor of a class.
ClassParent returns the name of the parent class for an object instance or class reference. For TObject, ClassParent returns nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++).
Avoid using ClassParent in application code.
