Modal dialog coordinates

[Johnny Peszek]

Hi! I have a dialog based application with one modal dialog as an inserted dialog resource. The modal dialog is always displayed in the middle of the dialog based application. I would like to display it not in the middle but with given coordinates e.g. in the upper left corner of the screen. Can somebody help me? Regards.

You can reposition the dialog by making a call to MoveWindow() or SetWindowPos() in the dialog's WM_INITDIALOG handler. Here's an example of how to position the dialog at the top left corner.

CRect rectDlg;
GetWindowRect (&rectDlg);
int nWidth = rectDlg.Width();
int nHeight = rectDlg.Height;
rectDlg.left = 0;
rectDlg.right = nWidth;
rectDlg.top = 0;
rectDlg.bottom = nHeight;
MoveWindow (&rectDlg);

• or -

SetWindowPos (NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);

Call SetWindowPos() from the dialog's OnInitDialog() method.
