How to get the parent item in a Panel Bar

[Ed]

Dear Telerik team,

Given a Rad Panel item, how can you get hold of its parent (in the hierarchy)?  I can't see an obvious property or method that does it, but presumably it's possible somehow.

Regards,

I have managed to find a way to do this now:

    protected void ItemClicked(object sender, RadPanelBarEventArgs args)
    {
        RadPanelItem rpi = args.Item;
        RadPanelItem parent = rpi.Owner as RadPanelItem;
        ...
    }

Is there a better way?  I can't seem to find a ParentItem property or similar, which would be very useful ...

This is the only way I can find, without iterating through the entire Panel piece by piece...  You can see the documentation on it at:

RadPanelItem Class Info

I couldn't find anything else on it either... did you need it for something that this current method won't work for?

Thanks for the reply; my code is now working.  I was just surprised there wasn't a dedicated property, that's all.  You'd have thought it would be a common request, to find the parent of a panel item, and hence I expected there to be a dedicated property for it.  No matter!

Cheers,

Ed
