Dialog Boxes...How to make appear them where you want.

[PySikE]

Hi!I was wondering how to put my dialog boxes where i want,in fact i can,but next time they are going to be in a corner....in the center or whereever.

I have two screens,that means they are going to appear on the primary one(not all of them)for example the recyle some times is on the center and sometimes on the corner of the other screen....and the same with the other applications.Well...with the windows is happening something like that,anyway im not interested in the windows %100.

The thing is....i moved them a lot of times to the center or wherever i want,but notthing....next time they will be in the corner :|

Someone knows how to put them where you want and let them appear next time where you want?(and don't tell me right click move,or drag the bar...lol)

Thanks!!!

If I under stand you correctly you want to be able to control the location of new popup and dialogue boxes etc. Yes? If that's the case, then you probably can't. As a java programmer I am only familiar with that, but when you create a new dialogue box you usually specify the front and center option so that it is most visible. Perhaps someone knows better than I do, but I really don't think this is possible.

Sorry, I thought you were building something.

in generel windows programming - on windows systems. you use the API for the windowing system of f.x. XP (which is rather similar to all the other windows versions).

There you will have popups being based on the actuall working window, so the popup windows you might be talking about, is properly based on the window that opens it - therefor is created on new each time you get the popup.

Furthermore the standard location for any window - appond creation - is top left corner, and then trailing down towards the lower right corner (if you create alot of windows in a row).

The same generelly applies for popup windows.

• So my point is, even if you move a popup window to where you want it, next time it comes up, its a newly created window, therefore placed in top left corner.

Nice... im not much of a programmer. But this is well said, and yes I can imagine how and why the windows pop-up or newly created windows appear on the top left corner. Nice!
