Parent Property
Parent Property
The Parent property returns a reference to the parent BodyPart object.
Syntax
Property Parent as IBodyPartHRESULT get_Parent(IBodyPart** pVal);
Remarks
Message content that is other than plain US-ASCII is arranged in a parent-child hierarchy. You can use the Parent property to navigate up from the current object to the object one level higher. If the object has no parent, as is the case with the Message object, an exception is raised.
As noted earlier, the Parent object may be an instance of the BodyPart COM class.
Example
Dim iMsg as New CDO.Message
Dim iBp1 as CDO.IBodyPart
Dim iBp2 as CDO.IBodyPart
Set iBp1 = iMsg.AddAttachment "c:\\files\\file.doc"
Set iBp2 = iBp1.Parent
' we now have the IBodyPart interface on the Message object, as it
' is the parent of the attachment BodyPart object.
