Determines the parent handle of a dialog or a dialog element in the hierarchy. At the top of the hierarchy are one or several base dialogs; these are the parents of the dialog elements contained in them. These children may themselves contain children, such as controls in a child dialog. Children on the same level are called siblings. They may be enumerated using the SUCCESSOR attribute with the same parent.
The parent/child relationship can only be changed by "deleting" a child and creating a new one.
