Is it true that the keyword self, used in a ContainerControl, reflects the parent window? It looks like it, but want to make sure if that is indeed the intended behavior at RB runtime.

Then an obvious question, believe once asked earlier on this list, should we care about the REALcontrol living on a ContainerControl when in the RB designtime?


The whole thing about container controls is a mess, I am listing them as unsupported in every way. There seems to be no way for a control to detect if they live on such. And REAL does not seem to answer questions about this. (Which is does not come as surprise given their recent track record).

So until all problems with ContainerControl are fixed and they bother to answer questions then there is no way to support it in any way.
