No, but that having been said, everything there is to know about InheritScope is discussed in the AdvancedDynamicFunctionality tutorial, which has always been strongly recommended reading for users of Dynamic and DynamicModule. DynamicModuleParent is not a user-accessible construct. The only way to create a properly populated DynamicModuleParent construct is to use InheritScope. This might (or might not) change in the future. Sincerely, John Fultz jfultz at wolfram.com User Interface Group Wolfram Research, Inc.
