Change position of Modal Dialog?

[JC]

Hi my friends!

How I can change the position ( Top and Left ) of a modal dialog at runtime?
It's possible?


Thanks for all!

[Antonio Linares]

Julio,

oDlg:nTop = ...
oDlg:nLeft = ...

[JC]

Julio,

oDlg:nTop = ...
oDlg:nLeft = ...

First, thanks Antonio...

This is my situation:

Code: Select all

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg RESOURCE "GRID_SELECTION" OF oDlgP

   ...   

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg ON INIT ( oDlg:move( oDlgP:nTop, oDlgP:nLeft,,, .T. ) )

But, the method move() put the top and left of the main window, not of the oDlgP. I'm crazy? hehehe

I want this: the dialog oDlg get the bottom and left position of the oDlgP!

Try with functions WndTop(oDlgp:hWnd) and WndLeft(oDlgp:hWnd)

Try with functions WndTop(oDlgp:hWnd) and WndLeft(oDlgp:hWnd)

Gabriel.... this not fun!

Hello Cesar,

maybe you can try with
oDlg:Move(20,20,700,800,.t.)

Yes, I tried! But this is the problem.... is a Dialog opened from another Dialog... the value must be from the first Dialog, but it get a value of top and left from the main window! I'm crazy, that's it!!!

Really, I want one thing: The second dialog must be show exactly on top of first dialog, with top and left!

Julio,

You need to turn absolute coordinates into relative ones.

Please review function ScreenToClient()

Please make a search for ScreenToClient in these forums. There are several examples of its use

[Otto]

Cesar,
I think you are right. There is no function opposite to the SetWindowPos = GetWindowPos in FIVEWIN.
oDlg:nTop() returns 0 in my tests
@ 3, 16 BUTTON "Top" SIZE 40, 12 ACTION msginfo(oDlg:nTop())

Maybe you can store the nTop of the first DIALOG in a STATIC and then use this STATIC for the second DIALOG. If you move the first you must change the STATIC VAR too.

As Biel pointed, WndTop( oDlg:hWnd [,nNewTop] ) should work similar to oDlg:nTop

[Otto]

Antonio, where do you get nNewTop from?
Regards,
Otto

[Antonio Linares]

Otto,

Its a new value for nTop.

oWnd:nTop is equivalent to WndTop( oWnd:hWnd )

and

oWnd:nTop := 5 is equivalent to WndTop( oWnd:hWnd, 5 )

[Otto]

Cesar,
maybe this is what you need.

Otto

Yes Antonio.... with ScreenToClient() , It's work fine!
Otto, thanks too!

Thanks very much! With much strenght!!
