I guess how you approach this is a matter of coding preferences. All the solutions posted work but some of them have certain edge cases when they won't, most of which I've run into at one time or another. I still prefer using the engine's knowledge of the ownership hierarchy of an object since it

Clever. But since the long id of the object is not used by the getprop handler, this always returns the name of the topstack, so it can't be used for more general situations, eg, if you want to get the owningstack of a control on a stack that is suspended. -- Peter Peter M. Brigham pmb...@gmai
