BarItemLink.OwnerItem Property

Gets a link’s owner item.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraBars

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraBars.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(false)]
public virtual BarItem OwnerItem { get; }

VB.NET

<Browsable(False)>
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property OwnerItem As BarItem

Property Value

Type	Description
BarItem	A BarItem descendant representing an item that owns the link. null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the link doesn’t belong to any item.

Remarks

Use the OwnerItem property to get the container item (a BarCustomContainerItem descendant) that owns the current link. All links owned by the container item are stored in the item’s link collection represented by the BarCustomContainerItem.ItemLinks property. If the container is not an item (not a BarItem descendant), the OwnerItem property returns a null reference. For example, this can take place if the link is displayed within a bar.

If it is necessary to obtain an object that contains the link, use the BarItemLink.LinkedObject property. To access the link’s corresponding item, use the BarItemLink.Item property.
