displaying heading from object above

I've seen how to grab the heading for an objects parent and grandparent, but how can I grab the heading of the object above an object?

For example, 4.2.1 is my requirement. 4.2 is the heading "Search". I want a layout dxl that will display "Search" next to 4.2.1 and any other requirement that is below 4.2.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi,

4.2 is the parent of 4.2.1., and 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 ....
So as you write that you know how to grab the heading for an objects parent I don't understand your problem.

I always associate the word "parent" with the linked object, not the object above.

Anyway, I've since figured it out.

There is a "Object parent(Object)" perm that gets the hierarchy parent of an object. Your layout may look like this:

if (obj is not a requirement) then halt // display nothing
 
Object oParent = parent(obj)
string HeadParent = probeAttr_(oParent, "Object Heading")
if (!null HeadParent) displayRich (number(oParent) " \\b " HeadParent "\\b0 :")  // Para Number, Bold on/off
 
now display what you want from obj.

Thanks Louie. I'll play around with that.
