Hi guys
I've got a Doc-View app and from the view I open a CDialog.
What I want to do is to open my child CDialog to an absolute position from the screen.
What I have to use and what parameters I have to put in?
I've tried MoveWindow and set window pos without succes.
Thanks in forwarding

Already read msdn link, but not working , maybe something wrong in my parameters?
I don't now, but sorry a MSDN link won't help.An example will help a lot.

If you are using CWnd::SetWindowPos() the first parameter can be set to NULL.

Using the API ::SetWindowPos() the first parameter is the handle to the window to move.

e.g.

SetWindowPos(NULL, nLeft, nTop, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);
<p></p>
where
nLeft and nTop - specify the top left corner of the window

::SetWindowPos(hWnd, NULL, nLeft, nTop, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);
<p></p>
where
hWnd - is the handle to the dialog window
nLeft and nTop - specify the top left corner of the window

NOTE: We do not need to specify the width and height if we have SWP_NOSIZE.

Just one more question
It's possible that if I declare my dialog as a PopUp dialog, the Setwindowpos doesn't work?
Well actually is not working, my dialog always appears in the same place.
I'll do the setwindowpos in the oninitdialog method.
I'm using
SetWindowPos(NULL,x,y, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);
It doesn't matter x,y the dialog always is drawn in the same place.
Thanks

I have used the same method to position dialogs in the past without problems.

What does your OnInitDialog look like. Are you sure that it is being called?

If so what does SetWindowPos return. NOTE: This should be non-zero if it is successful!

Hi Ant
You're right all is working correctly (SetWindowPos returns 1), for an instant I can see my dialog in the right position but after OnInitDialog, the dialog returns to a centered position in the window.
I've searched in the dialog class and no CenterWindow() is called.
Do you remmeber something similar? Maybe a property of the dialog? Something relative to the app?
I'm really confused about what does return the dialog to the center.
Thanks a lot for your time

I need to invoke a html page on my local machine say C:\\xyz.html via shellexecute.
When i use
ShellExecuteNULL,"Open","C:\\xyz.html",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
one of the existing IE windows is getting altered..All that i need is - none of the existing IE windows should get disturbed.But i need this html page to be invoked in a new IE window. Also i tried this way.
ShellExecuteNULL,"Open","IExplore",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
ShellExecuteNULL,"Open","C:\\xyz.html",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
The first statement invoked a new IE window.But the latter statement did not alter this newly created IE window,but it set one of the already existing windows to xyz.html....Can anyone help me in this?

Booh, I hate it. I can't stand it when applications open their HTML files in Internet Explorer, although Firefox is set as my default browser.
