getParent

Description

The getParent method returns the parent node of a specified node within a Treeview object.

Returns

1. node The parent node of the specified node, or nil if the node is a root node

Usage

• Creates a Treeview, adds a child node, and retrieves its parent:

local basalt = require("basalt")

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame()
local treeview = mainFrame:addTreeview()

local rootNode = treeview:getRoot()
local childNode = rootNode.addChild("Child Node")

local parentNode = childNode.getParent()

basalt.debug("Parent node:", parentNode)

basalt.autoUpdate()

In this example, a Treeview object is created and added to the mainFrame. The getRoot method is used to access the root node, and a new child node is added to it using the addChild method. The getParent method is then used to retrieve the parent node of the child node, which is the root node in this case.
