Get access to parent control from user control - C#

Question

How do I get access to the parent controls of user control in C# (winform). I am using the following code but it is not applicable on all types controls such as ListBox.

Answer 1

You can use Control.Parent to get the parent of the control or Control.FindForm to get the first parent Form the control is on. There is a difference between the two in terms of finding forms, so one may be more suitable to use than the other.:

The control's Parent property value might not be the same as the Form returned by FindForm method. For example, if a RadioButton control is contained within a GroupBox control, and the GroupBox is on a Form, the RadioButton control's Parent is the GroupBox and the GroupBox control's Parent is the Form.
