Description

Returns the type of the immediate ancestor of a class.

ClassParent returns the name of the parent class for an object instance or class reference. For TObject, ClassParent returns nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++).

Avoid using ClassParent in application code.

Note: In Delphi code, use the is or as operators instead of ClassParent.
Note: In C++ code, use a dynamic cast or the InheritsFrom method instead of ClassParent.
