I am trying to position a dialog box relative to a control on a mdichild.

The following code is used to get the X,Y pos to pass to the create event of the dialog box to set it's size property.

The dialog box starts higher than the top of the control and the difference appears to be the space between the top of the mdiframe window to the top of the client area. What else do I need to do, or is there a better way to get the actual x,y pos of a control.

CtrlSize=get_property(CtrlEntId,'SIZE')

Xpos= CtrlSize

YPos= CtrlSize

Object=CtrlEntId

Parent=get_property(Object,'PARENT')

loop

Parent=get_property(Object,'PARENT')

while Parent

CtrlSize=get_property(Parent,'SIZE')

Xpos+= CtrlSize

YPos+= CtrlSize

Object=Parent

repeat

TIA

Barry,

I think POPUP and MSG both do this … can you take a look at the source for those? Let me know if you still need help.

Best of luck,

Barry,

I just remembered the calendar (POPUP_MONTH and POPUP_YEAR) do it too … that source is also in the WORKS!
