C0061 Compiler Error

Message text

Current object has no parent.

Explanation

This statement in the open event of a window generates C0061:

1	parent.width = 1000 // generates C0061

A window has no parent. Its properties can be accessed using the
pronoun “this” or using the pronoun “parent” with a control on the window.
This statement in the open event of the window compiles without
error:

1	this.width = 1000

This statement in the clicked event of a button on the window
produces the same result:

1	parent.width = 1000
