General question.

Does anyone know any way to get the name of the parent GUI? I'm making a conversion in the DX Lib, but it requires GUI Parent, and when you're converting it they're all going to be called different things, you know any way to get the parent gui name?

 

win = createWindow((screenW - 444) / 2, (screenH - 337) / 2, 444, 337,{0,0,0,150},"test")
tab1 = createTab(9, 58, 109, 35,"Tab 1",true,win,false)

As you can see above, in the createTab, it shows win being the parent, but say I had to replace win with parent, would there be anyway to get something like;

 

for i,v in pairs(getElementsByType ( 'gui-'.."tabpanel",root)) do
	local parent = getGuiParent(v)

Maybe getElementParent, not sure.

Hmm, just tried it. Doesn't seem to be working thanks anyhow.

getElementParent returns the parentElement, but you cannot get a variables name.

local gui = {
 'gui-tabpanel',
 }; 

for k,v in ipairs ( gui ) do 
if getElementType(source) == v then
