IEditor.Parent Property

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public ReadOnly Property Parent As AppRef

[C#]
public AppRef Parent {get;}

Available with ArcGIS Desktop.

Returns a reference to the application that created the editor.

The Parent property provides a convenient way to get a reference to the application that created the Editor object. Edit tasks often use this property since they are only passed an IEditor reference and not an IApplication reference. For example, for an edit task to work with the Map's selection environment, the task will have to access properties belonging to IMXApplication .
