how to position a dialog box

how to position a dialog box

how to position a dialog box

(OP)
how do I position a dialog box so it opens in a certain oplace that I determine? currently it opens in the middle of my attachmate screen and so is in the way. I would like to position it to one side of my attachmate screen or have it open in the place where it was when it was closed.

thanks you

RE: how to position a dialog box

Hey smiler44,

CODE

Begin Dialog DialogName [x, y,] dx, dy [, caption$] [,.dialogfunction]
© 1996 - 2004, Attachmate Corporation. All rights reserved.

(x,y) = Position of dialog relative to upper left cornor of parent window
(dx,dy) = Size of window
caption = Text in top of the dialog
dialogfunction = The function used by the dialog

Only dx and dy are mandatory variables.

Hope it helps.

Regards
Lakare

Thank you Lakare. I will try this. The only bit I don't understand is [,.dialogfunction] but once looking a the code of my macro it may become clear.
As excited as I am, I'm all macroed and formulaed out for the week. I will practice this next week.
please don't think me ungrateful, I am just worn out

thank you, appreciate it

Lakare,
seem to have a clear head today.
I have used Begin Dialog userdialog1 [100, 100,] 183, 100, [,.DlgFunction] but it errors.
I tried Begin Dialog userdialog1 [100, 100,] 183, 100 [, home$] [,.DlgFunction] to make sure i used what you had but this too errors when I complie.
any ideas?
thanks smiler44

RE: how to position a dialog box

Do you write the square brackets?

The square brackets just mean it is optional and shall not be a part of the code.
