IHTMLTxtRange::parentElement Method

---

Retrieves the parent element for the given text range. The parent element is the element that completely encloses the text in the range.

Syntax

HRESULT parentElement(
    IHTMLElement **Parent 
);

Parameters

Parent

Address of a variable that receives an interface pointer for the parent element.

Return Value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error code otherwise.

Remarks

If the text range spans text in more than one element, the method returns the smallest element that encloses all the elements. When you insert text into a range that spans multiple elements, the text is placed within the parent element rather than in any of the contained elements.
