# OWNER

Specifies a "belongs to" relationship between two objects other than a containment relationship (for which the PARENT attribute is used).

In particular, this is currently used to assign controls to tab control tabs, where the control's OWNER attribute is set to the handle of the tab control tab to which the control belongs. If this tab is selected, the control is automatically made visible if its VISIBLE attribute is set to FALSE. If the tab is deselected, the control is automatically hidden. If the tab is deleted, the control is automatically deleted. The foregoing only applies to controls that are direct children of the tab control. For indirect descendant controls, or for controls for which the OWNER attribute is not set, no automatic show, hide or delete occurs.
