Position the ASK dialog

Post by [email protected] » Fri Jul 25, 2014 4:36 pm

It appears that the MSG_XPOS and MSG_YPOS do not affect the ASK dialog. Is there a way to position this?

There's no built in method to control the Ask dialog. You could write a second dynamic script that your main script would invoke just prior to opening the Ask box that could move it after it opens. But if you're going to that much effort you may as well create you own Ask dialog.

Or, what I would do is create your own version of an Ask dialog using the custom dialog designer which you could position anywhere you like. It would be easy to make a dialog look and work exactly like Ask.

Thanks for this JRL. I hadn't gotten around to doing it yet, so I am very appreciative.
