# FindOwnerControl

Returns the TWinControl for the given Handle; the parent control for a non-TWinControl Handle.

## Declaration

Source position: controls.pp line 2345

`function FindOwnerControl(`
`Handle: HWND`
`):TWinControl;`

## Description

Handle can also be a child handle (of a TControl), in which case the returned control is the parent of the desired control. Parent, not Owner as suggested by the function name![?]

[Remark] The function recursively tries GetParent(Handle), so the result depends on the implementation (meaning) of a parent handle.
