This function is used for setting a DGS element as the parent of another DGS element.

[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: This function does not change when an element will be destroyed - DGS elements are always destroyed when the resource that created them is stopped.
[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: dgsSetParent only works to DGS elements.

Syntax

bool dgsSetParent( element theElement, element parent )

Required Arguments

  • theElement: The dgs element that you wish to set the parent of.
  • parent: The dgs element you wish to be the parent of theElement.

Returns

Returns true if both elements are valid, false otherwise.

Example

Client

This example shows how it works: 

DGS = exports.dgs
parent = DGS:dgsDxCreateWindow( 500, 500, 300, 300, "test window", false ) -- create a window
label = DGS:dgsDxCreateLabel( 0, 0, 300, 20, "test label", false ) -- create a label that its parent is the screen
DGS:dgsSetParent(label, parent) -- set the window as the parent of the label
