Change parent on UI widgets

[Raul Ferriz]

It would be really cool to add void set_parent(Panel *nparent) to UI::Panel and needed descendants. With this feature would be really easy reuse diffrents panels throught buildings.

For example: with this addition I could develop only one panel to show soldiers on ms, ts and hq very shortly.

so why can't you just redraw the panels?

answer (from irc, my interpretation): avoid code duplicantion. having different building types do the same thing

Yes, this bug is arised developing bug 536583.
What I want to achieve is:
1) headquarter_window inherits from warehouse_window
2) on creation of headquarter_window, call creator of warehouse_window
3) create a tabpanel (tp) and two boxes (wh_box and ms_box) inside
4) move all allready created items on headquarter_window but tp to wh_box (for every widget, widget->set_parent(wh_box))
5) create ms stuff on ms_box

Even better, if this is fixed, all visualization code between ts, ms, and hq could be shared reducing bugs and source lines to debug.

I have found another solution, seems to be far easier to implement and do not have disadvantages of memleaks.
