Is it possible to transfer control? (in DnD). Like drag one button from a
container and drop it in another container?

No. You do not drag and drop controls but rather the data associated with
them.

If you are trying to create a visual editor, you might consider the
following snippet:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet46.java?rev=HEAD&a mp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Note that widgets are created with a parent and you can't just change their
parent containment relationship. On some platforms Control.setParent() is
supported but on most platforms it is not.
