[[Property:title|Reparent an Object]]

[[Property:uuid|bf920606-6a40-83fc-5069-034d32f8cd7a]]
To reparent an [[EiffelBuild Notation|object]] , you need to [[EiffelBuild Notation|pick]] the [[EiffelBuild Notation|object]] and [[EiffelBuild Notation|drop]] it on the [[EiffelBuild Notation|object]] you wish it to be parented in. The [[EiffelBuild Notation|object]] will be removed from its current parent, and inserted in the new parent at the next available position.
When an [[EiffelBuild Notation|object]] is inserted into a parent, it is always added at the next available position. If you wish to place an [[EiffelBuild Notation|object]] at a particular position within a parent, you must hold down the '''Shift''' key, and drop on an [[EiffelBuild Notation|object]] already contained in parent, Your [[EiffelBuild Notation|object]] will then be inserted in the parent, in the position preceding the child [[EiffelBuild Notation|object]] that you dropped on.
You can access [[EiffelBuild Notation|objects]] from both the [[Builder window|builder window]] and [[Layout constructor|layout constructor]] .
{{note|Although window and dialog objects may be accessed within the [[Widget selector|widget selector]] , it is not possible to build into these objects, you should use the [[Layout constructor|layout constructor]] or [[Builder window|builder window]] directly in this situation. }}
For more information about an [[EiffelBuild Notation|objects]] capacity and permitted children, see the [[EiffelVision Introduction|EiffelVision 2]] documentation.
