In this post, you’ll learn more about the GetParentComponent method or DelphiVCL.Application.GetParentComponent is used to return the containing component. GetParentComponent returns a reference to the component that contains the current component, or nil if there is no container.
Use HasParent to determine whether a component has a containing component. For example, a button on a panel on a form returns the panel; the panel returns the form, and the form returns nil.
Learning more about the GetParentComponent method will help you build a Python project more easily in the future with Delphi VCL Applications.
