Description
Checks whether WebView has parent control.When you use custom WebViewer with our plugin, you may run into the situation, that FileMaker rebuilds the layout (e.g. after changing a value list!). Then WebView.HasParent will return 0 and you know the WebViewer got removed by FileMaker.
So when you have a script triggered by user going to new layout, you can check the status of web viewer and if needed rebuild it. Or change workflows, so if user needs to change a value list, they may need to open a card window then reach the edit dialog and when they click back button to close card, you can reload WebViewer.
Examples
Whether browser has a parent:
Set Variable [ $hasParent ; Value: MBS("WebView.HasParent"; $$web) ]
