Gadget Parents & Children
Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:55 pm
Hey
I request functions to be implemented in PureBasic which allow us to determine the gadget's parent and all of
its children (if it is a container). I'm very well aware of the WinAPI possibilities to do this, but that's not the point.
Having these functions natively would allow doing more generic things with gadgets without keeping track of
them all, using a list or something similar.
What do you guys think?
