Well, you can find your component's parent components name with:

parent().name()

Or you can find the top level component, and it's name, with:

context().page().name().

In some cases parent() and context().page() may be the same WOComponent instance, of course.

From a design point of view, it may be better to pass this information (what type of header to show) through a binding, instead of guessing it from parent() or context().page() though. A looser coupling between components, where all communication happens through the binding API, instead of implicit communication by virtue of what component contains what component. But what you are suggesting will certainly work, if you really do want to do it.

Hello -

I was thinking of using WOComponentContent to wrap my pages. However,
I need to perform some logic in the header area, mainly switching tab states
and was wondering if there was a command to find the current page name.

This way I could use a conditional in WOComponentContent to switch out
the tab states depending on which page they had selected.

Thanks,
James Cicenia
