canControlHaveChildren

canControlHaveChildren(): Boolean;

The canControlHaveChildren method of the Control class returns whether a control is permitted to be the parent of other controls.

The canControlHaveChildren method is defined for the following reasons.

• The Painter needs to determine the controls that can be parents.

• For subclasses of the BaseControl class, it can be overridden to determine the behavior of the developer-defined subclassed control in regards to being a parent.

The default value returned by the method is determined by the control. The BaseControl, Frame, GroupBox, JadeDockBar, JadeDockContainer, JadeMask, Picture, Sheet, and StatusLine controls return true; all other controls return false.
