Hello. I have posted this question before but I still don't have an answer. Your help would be MOST appreciated! What I want to do is really very simple. I wish to launch an OpenDialog from my app and I wish to set the position to be in the center of the parent window. However, there is...

Hello. Yes, I solved my problem. It didn't end up being a problem between Windows XP and Windows 7, it was just that one computer had the DPI setting set to 96 and the other computer had it set to 120. *In addition*, I had the Properties attribute of the problem form set to Scaled=true. I...

Hello. I have an app written in Embarcadero C++ Builder 2010 and tested on a computer running WinXP. Everything works great. However, when I move the app to a different computer running Windows 7 OS, the app works but some of the components' sizes change, e.g.- a string grid which has height...

I'm sure you're right but I don't know what you mean by "the form that holds the dialog". As I already mentioned, if you change the Position property of the owner form of the dialog, you only change the position of the owner form, not the position of its children. Could you please be more...

There is no Position property on the OpenDialog or OpenPictureDialog object. If I change the Position property "on the form where the dialog is", i.e.- the owner form of the OpenDialog, it will change where the *owner* opens, not the OpenDialog. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Hello, James. Thank you for your reply. If I look at the Object Inspector for OpenDialog or OpenPictureDialog, then click on the Properties tab, I do not see a Position property. If these forms have a Position property, how do I set it? Thanks again. -Rob

Hello. I have an app written in Borland C++ Builder 6 and tested on a computer running WinXP. Everything works great. However, when I move the app to a Windows 7 OS, the app works but some of the components' sizes change, e.g.- a string grid which has height 500 and width 500 on the WinXP...

Hello. I've written an app in Borland C++ Builder 6 to work on multiple monitors. When I have the main app window on a given monitor and I click on Open Picture (launching the OpenPictureDialog), the OpenPictureDialog always opens in the middle of the main monitor. I want it to open centered...

Hmmm... Maybe we're looking at different things. I don't see a Code Insight dialog, just a Code Insight tab in the Editor Properties dialog. Also, on this tab, there is no "Tooltips Symbol Insight" checkbox, just "Tooltip expression evaluation" checkbox. I have the latter unchecked, I only...

Thanks for your input, Prattaratt. Even when I uncheck ALL the boxes in Tools->Editor Options->Code Insight tab and slide the slider all the way to the left, I still get those bubble windows like ShowModal - Forma.hpp (721) when the cursor hovers over ShowModal(). It's the display of those...

OK, it is not autosaving! What is happening is that each time the cursor hovers over any variable, eg-, Canvas, it displays a bubble message like Canvas - Graphics.hpp (373) How the heck can I turn this off? Thanks. -Rob

Hello, again. I have found where to select the background compilation option. Is it under Tools->Environment Options -> Preferences tab at the bottom of the Compiling and running group box. It is unchecked. I have also gone to Tools -> Editor Options -> Code Insight tab and moved the slider...

Hi, and thanks for your input! Can you direct me to where I can find the "background compilation option"? I have looked and can not find where this option is. Thanks again. -Rob
