Hi,
*PARENTDIALOG *is the name of a dialog in IUP. In IupLua, if you set an
IUP object Ihandle as attribute will automatically finds its name, or even
generates a name, and do the association. For example,
parent_dialog1 = iup.dialog{...
child_dialog = iup.dialog{ parentdialog = parent_dialog1, ...
In IupLua, the handle of a dialog or image, or any resource, is
automatically translated to its name, when set as an attribute of another
dialog or element.
*NATIVEPARENT *explicitly states that instead of a regular IUP handle, it
expects a "native" handle, in that case you can use a HWND in Windows. In
any other situation, you can not.
If you have a window that is not a regular IUP dialog, you can use it as
parent only using this attribute. I don't think you will be able to use it
as parent for a IupAlarm, neither in IupMessageAlarm where a Ihandle is
expected.
Best,
Scuri

functions that create and show pre-defined dialogs. Usually they are
configured through a callback (IupGetParam) or global attributes
(IupAlarm). Although they are not NATIVEPARENT friendly. It will be not
simple to use NATIVEPARENT with them, but it is possible, at least for
IupGetParam.
