GOAL:
How to modify the X and Y attributes of a Progress Window widget?
GOAL:
How to control the ROW and COL attributes of a Progress Window widget?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
To ensure that a Progress Window widget always starts up at the same screen position, modify its X and Y attributes or its ROW and COL attributes as desired. For example:
In a "normal" nonsmart Progress Window, insert one of the following two statements in the Window's "Main Block" section immediately before the "RUN enable_UI" statement.
ASSIGN
{&WINDOW-NAME}:COL = 10
{&WINDOW-NAME}:ROW = 10.
OR
ASSIGN
{&WINDOW-NAME}:COL = 10
{&WINDOW-NAME}:ROW = 10.
In a "smart" window, insert one of the above two statements in the "initializeObject" override procedure before the "RUN SUPER" statement. Note that while the X and Y attributes are measures in pixel units, the ROW and COL attributes are measured in 'character' units.
