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
