[Laszlo-user] change parent of a subview

[Can Barışcan]

How can I change the parent of a view within a view that has a layout? I
have something that is inited in a view and placed according to a layout.
Instead of destroying it, I want to hide it and put it in an invisible view
(restoring the layout for the remaining elements).  Then when I want to show
it again, I want to put it back inside the layout but like it was added from
scratch like a new thing was added to the layout, so this way I don't have
to destroy, then initialize it again each time I virtually close and open
it. Opening puts things according to layout..  Like
windows.subviews[1].setParent(windowstack)
then windowstack.subviews[1].setParent(windows).

It says in docs chapter 32 states:

"This example highlights the metaphysical nature of states: they modify the
meta-object protocol enough so that their contents can be stored and applied
elsewhere. (This could conceivably be a feature of the system as a whole as
in, for example, an LzNode.setParent(otherLzNode), but it's not)."

I don't really get this.
