CWnd::GetOwner

Retrieves a pointer to the owner of the window.

CWnd* GetOwner( ) const;

Return Value

A pointer to a CWnd object.

Remarks

If the window has no owner, then a pointer to the parent window object is returned by default. Note that the relationship between the owner and the owned differs from the parent-child aspect in several important aspects. For example, a window with a parent is confined to its parent window's client area. Owned windows can be drawn at any ___location on the desktop.

The ownership concept of this function is different from the ownership concept of GetWindow.
