Re: [Win32Lib] re-assign parent of control?

I'm a little late with this one too.... but to reassign the control to a 
different parent, you can use SetParent. It's not defined in Win32lib, so 
here it is....

constant
xSetParent = registerw32Function(user32, "SetParent", {C_ULONG, C_ULONG}, 
C_ULONG)

call it with:

oldParentHandle = w32Func( xSetParent, {getHandle(child), 
getHandle(newParent)})
