Add a Control.OwningPane property

When you want to find out where exactly a control is located on a computer screen (for some dark reason), there is a method for Panes called 'Convert Pane coordinates to Panel coordinates'.

 

However there is no easy way to get the owning pane of a control!

The propery 'Owner' of a control always returns the actual VI, not the pane.

Sadly, this will not help if the Control is on a Panel that is in a SubPanel.

Search LabVIEW like a graph!
