[Gambas-user] Feature Request: Reparent function behaviour change.

[Steven James Drinnan]

Beniot - I tough I'd better break this out as it does not relate to the
original thread.

Lets say that you have a label name 'label1' and 2 frames named frame1
and 'frame2'. And you placed 'label1' in 'frame1'. For some reason you
wish to move in code. So you use the 'reparent' function. 

The pseudo code

frame1.move(10,10,100,100) 
frame1.move(500,10,100,100) 

label1.X = 10
label1.Y = 10 

'the label box is already in 'frame1' so it has relative x y position to
'frame1'

'now reparent the label

label1.reparent(frame2)

Now what happens is that frame2 now moves to X and Y location of the
label. If you use ...

label1.reparent(frame2,500,10)

the frame is in the correct place but 'label1' has now got x=0 and y=0

I would like to see the following default behavior: 
	1. New parent retains its properties. I.e stay where it is and does not
move.
	2. The label gets re-parented and all all its values remain the same.
	3. The x and y optional values should be for new position for the
control inside the new parent.

If you are not sure what I mean take a look at the enclosed example.
