Dialog Control - Windows

[sweep123]

In a Visual Studio .Net MFC application I would like to be able to control/position each dialog and then switch to another application and have that take up part of the screen, say the bottom right corner (have my application 3/4 of the display area - using 3/4 dialog windows).

Is it possible to have several dialogs on display when the Main dialog window is minimised; i.e. have each dialog acting like a single dialog application.

Yes, it is possible.

OK how is it done.

Also, how do you close these Modeless Dialog windows when your application terminates; i.e. via the use of an Exit button on the main control dialog.

You should use Win32API.

Start your search with the FindWindow() api call. This will allow you get a handle to the window that is not part of your app. With this handle you can send messages to this program. The message you would like to send is the WM_MOVE with the appropriate parameters.

Hope this helps.
