[Laszlo-user] change parent of a subview

[Can Barışcan]

Ok I've managed to do what I wanted to do.

Paulo,yeah I've realized that and played with layouts  so I have custom
simple layout that can take an attribute if you want things inversely
positioned, and also if you want the layouts to be animated, and an
attribute if the layouts are not going to change only look at the last
elements position (simplelayout counts every subview when something added).

To solve my problem what I did is use layout.setLayoutOrder(lastview in
layout, view added to layout). But the lastview of the layout is not
view.subViews[subviews.length-1] when I change their positions with
setLayoutOrder, so I have set a variable that will keep the location of the
last positioned  subview in the subviews[] array.

This way I can virtually hide things in a layout, then add things to layout
and then put the hidden things in front when they are revealed again, then
add things in the layout again.

Why I did this? I don't want to  destroy()  then call  new className(parent,
{attributes});  everytime I want to remove a subview from a view within a
layout and add the same thing again. That's how it was before.

Thanks for all help,
Can
