1. [WIN] "re-assign" a control from one window to another?

Is it possible to "re-assign" a control from one window to another, back and
forth, in response to program user actions?
I have a set of combo boxes in a window that's opened from another window;
but depending on what the program user does, I want those controls to "move"
(be available) to the *first* window, or back to the 2nd one. I can move
their *position*,
my problem is to make them "belong" to the selected window, so I don't have
to make duplicates of all the controls (one set for 1st window, one set for
2nd, make "unused" set invisible, etc).

I dont think that is possible unless you were to setup
a SystemThread responder.

Hi Dan,
yes this is possible.
There is the Windows API function called "SetParent" that can be used to
move a control from one window to another. However, some internal variables
inside win32lib.ew would also have to be fixed up if you did that. I'll do
some more research into it and get back to you.

euman,
That's what I was afraid of, though Derek thinks it can be accomplished, & I
suspect he probably will make it possible. In the meantime, I'll probably
go for "duplicate" controls. Thanks.
