you will need to study notebooks, its tabs, how a notebook manages its children (tab names, properties, etc.) to fully understand why it behaves the way it does (your questions) since i am not privy to such details (never needed to know them myself).
only being able to reparent once sounds strange to me, this is a question of re-assignment. why there would be a one-time limit sounds a bit strange. perhaps the widget experts out there know something on this? (when you say you are unable, what does that mean exactly? what happens? a message saying you can't reparent a second time?) richard On Fri, Jul 12, 2013 at 3:22 PM, Ryan Taylor <ryta1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes, I have done this and it works, except simply "reparenting" does not > save the tab label (for example, before it might be XYZ and after I > reparent back to notebook the text is the original page number.
