Hmm... As far as I can remember there is an APi-command to set a window to another windows child. It's something like SetParentWindow_() or so, can't remember exactly. But as I know the command has a little bug...

Is there a way that you can use PB openwindow command to set the parent/child window?
If not is there any more details on how I could set the parent. I am not good at the API stuff yet.

Thanks

Hello Pusztry,

The API guide says :

Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" Alias "SetParent" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long

This means you will do the following in PureBasic (assuming Window1, Window2 are your window numbers ...) :

hWnd1 = OpenWindow(Window1, x1, y1, x2, y2, yourflags, yourtitle)

hWnd2 = OpenWindow(Window2, x1, y1, x2, y2, yourflags, yourtitle)

Result = SetParent_(hWnd2, hWnd1)

...

If Result is non zero the function succeeded, otherwise it failed.

Does this answer to you ?
