SAMPLE: Parent.exe Uses SetParent to Change Parent of Child

ID: Q75001

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.0, 3.1
Microsoft Windows 2000

SUMMARY

Parent.exe is a sample application that demonstrates how to dynamically change the parent of a child window by using the SetParent function.

NOTE: This technique is very risky when applied to pop-up windows. Pop-up windows do not have a parent, instead they have an owner, which is a different relationship. Trying to change the parent of a pop-up window can cause the application or Windows to crash.
