you need to print the value

you need to print the value that "classof selection[1].parent" returns like

c = classof selection[1].parent
print c

Never get low & slow & out of ideas

And you need to start to read mxs help even more ;)

Try now

try(destroyDialog ::bgaRoll)catch()
rollout bgaRoll "• • •"
(
	button classbutton "Find Class Of Selected Object" width:190 pos:[5,5]
	button classparentbutton "Find Parent Class Of Selected Object" width:190 align:#left pos:[5,30]
	on classbutton pressed do 
	(
		if selection.count == 0 then messageBox "Select some objects!" else
		(
			for o in selection do format "ObjectName: % ; ObjectClass: %\n" o.name (classof o)
		)
	)
	on classparentbutton pressed do
	(
		if selection.count == 0 then messageBox "Select some objects!" else
		(
			for o in selection do 
			(
				if o.parent != undefined then
				(
					format "ObjectName: % ; ParentName: % ; ParentClass: %\n" o.name o.parent.name (classof o.parent)
				)
				else format "ObjectName: % ; ParentName: -- ; ParentClass: --\n" o.name
			)
		)
	)
)
createDialog bgaRoll 200 55 style:#(#style_titlebar, #style_sysmenu, #style_toolwindow)
