ParentPDElement
(read only)
This property sets Parent PD element, if any, to be the active circuit element and returns index>0; Returns 0 if it fails or not applicable..
Example
% Create DSS object
DSSObject = actxserver('OpenDSSEngine.DSS')
if ~DSSObject.Start(0),
disp('Unable to start openDSS');
return
end;
DSSText = DSSObject.Text;
DSSCircuit = DSSObject.ActiveCircuit;
DSSElement = DSSCircuit.ActiveCktElement;
% Sets the first PDE on the list as the active element
i = DSSCircuit.FirstPDElement;
% Sets the next PDE on the list as the active element
i = DSSCircuit.NextPDElement;
% Activates the parentPDE
i = DSSCircuit.ParentPDElement;
if i ~= 0,
myParent = DSSElement.Name;
end;
