[Laszlo-user] Fwd: Dragging an Object out of a View?

[jamesr]

well if you aren't using clipping then *visually* it's quite easy to make an
object be dragged out of a parent view. This may be obvious.
If your question is how to *reparent* a view from one container to another -
the short answer is, you can't. The best pattern to use here is to save all
the related parameters that compose the view being dragged and create a new
view under the desired new parent and copy those parameters over.

If you use that pattern, a simple copy/paste manager for that type of
dragged object that will automatically do that given the object and the new
parent is a good way to go.

Did this help?
