Given a TabPage, find its TabControl

Question

I have an instance of a TabPage.

I want to ask that TabPage:

"Who's your TabControl?"

That is, I wish to query a TabPage to get a reference to the TabControl that contains it.

Hmm, "handle"... Let's assume you meant reference, cast its Parent property to (TabControl). — Hans Passant, Nov 28 '14 at 19:15
A "handle" to a TabPage? Are you working with your own app?...or an external app? Do you really mean a handle, or a reference? Why not just use the Parent() property? — Idle_Mind, Nov 28 '14 at 19:15
"Reference", not "handle". I am working of 4 different platforms simultaneously, each using different terms, so I got my terms confused. Thank you for the correction. — Davide Andrea, Nov 28 '14 at 19:18

Try to cast the Tabpage.Parent to a TabControl:

TabControl parent = tabpage.Parent as TabControl;

Thanks. Except that I would prefer (TabControl)tabpage.Parent (Ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/132445/direct-casting-vs-as-operator) – Davide Andrea Nov 28 '14 at 19:32
