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

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
 
Do you write the square brackets?

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

Lakare
 
Lakare,
I'm sure I did but will go and try again just in case.
