Remarks

Locating a parent generally flows from the selected object upward until an appropriate parent is found. For some scenarios, an element may want to redirect this location process to another element. For example, a ContentControl can be the parent of only a single element. If the ContentControl already contains a Panel and the user adds a new object, the user's intent is most likely to add new objects to the Panel. This method allows that form of redirection.
