If you know container name, it will be easy to to convert result into the object reference you want.
Another way to rey, is to traverse hierarchy back until you find a container. Something like

DO WHILE .T.
	TRY
		oParent = This.Parent
	CATCH
		oParent = Null
	ENDTRY		
	
	DO CASE
	CASE oParent = Null
		EXIT
	CASE oParent.Class = "Container"
		EXIT
	CASE oParent.Class = "Form"
		EXIT
	ENDCASE
ENDDO
