Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    xdialog "postion" command

    I am struggling to find way to making sure i can control

    instaed of default in the middle,

    {position = +1,-1} is how i interpret the command list
    but i trust i am not applying it properly

    {position = +1,-1}

    Hi Ken,

    What happens if you get rid of the spaces on each side of the "="?

    {position=+1,-1}

          "invalid date constant"
          That has nothing to do with the position. You have a variable or an expression that is invalid.

            HI Bill, i tried with or without = sign
            i tried, with +1, -1 or -1,+1

            all comes up with invalid date constant

            now, i am sure there are user out there wish to control the position of the xdialog box or in my case ADO xdailog, just want it start at the left and top

            i placed the codes right at the beginning of the scrip,

                  ok, i created a simple dialog, prompt for something
                  converted the code to xbasic, add this position {position= -1,+1}
                  i get the same error, now i placed it right at the beginning.

                  try one yourself, simple dialog and add this position code

                      you must have put {position} in the wrong spot.

                        I entered my last reply before I saw your code, and sure enough you put it in the wrong spot.
                        Now try:
                        Code:
                        'Create an XDialog dialog box to prompt for parameters.
                        
                        DIM SHARED sql1 as C
                        DIM SHARED varC_result as C
                        heading_string = "lllll"
                        footer_string = "oot"
                        ok_button_label = "&OK"
                        cancel_button_label = "&Cancel"
                        varC_result = ui_dlg_box("kkkk",<<%dlg%
                        [COLOR="DarkRed"]{position= -1,+1}[/COLOR]
                        {region}
                        {text=55,1:heading_string};
                        {endregion};
                        {region}
                        Type prompt here:| [.40sql1];
                        {endregion};
                        {region}
                        {text=55,1:footer_string};
                        {endregion};
                        {line=1,0};
                        {region}
                        <*15=ok_button_label!OK> <15=cancel_button_label!CANCEL>
                        {endregion};
                        %dlg%)
                        The way you had it, made absolutly no sense to alpha for several reasons:
                        the curly paraenthis usually denote a date (or an xdlg command} and what you have between them does not look like neither.

                              well, not satisfy with this position code, i put -1,+1
                              also -3,+3

                              it does not move the xdialog form at all?
                              try zero,zero same thing, can you move yours?
