How far is this view from a specific ancestor view?

[sagipolley]

Hi,

I have a tree-like structure that can be any number of levels deep (replicated, recursed).

My question is—for a specific subview, how can I find the ID of the instance of the class that is the root of the tree?

The root could be the current view's parent, parent.parent, parent.parent.parent, or whatever.

(I am trying to avoid referring to a specific instance of the class from within the class—if I do that, I can't reuse it...)

TIA,

Martin

I think classroot is what you're looking for. It's discussed in the Developer's Guide here:

Thanks,

Awesome! That is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you so much!
