I have a gtk widget (from gtk_dialog_new()) which was created in a different function and bunch of widgets added to it. Now I want to reparent all the children of this widget to another container.
Something like:

get_widget_get_all_childrent(list);
//loop over list and reparent all children

    Actually I found the answer after a bit of googling.

    First I need to get a list of children:

    GList* list = gtk_container_get_children();
    
          //then loop over and reparent
    
         g_object_ref(widget);
         gtk_container_remove(GTK_CONTAINER(old_parent), widget);
         gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(new_parent), widget);
         g_object_unref(widget);
