Reparenting has been done under Xt (an HP X widget does it), but it is not a supported feature (i.e. no guarantees that the next release won't break you). Unless you are creating an IDT (jargon for Interactive Design Tool), it's probably not too important. If you are creating and IDT, it would be a really handy feature to have. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Ellsworth | ben@cv.hp.com | INTERNET Hewlett-Packard Company | {backbone}!hplabs!hp-pcd!ben | UUCP 1000 N.E.
