Screen location

[Scott Turchin]

I think I know how ot do this and am going to drive on with my thoughts but can someone confirm this:

If I want to start my app in the VERY top left corner each time, how would you do it?

I'm assuming get screen size, get left side of screen, that's the tricky part...

Hi Scott,
Can't you just use the SetWindowPos API with X and Y set to 0
for SDK or use 0's in the x and y coordinates in the Dialog New
statement for DDT?

Scott --

Wyman is right... Unless you're dealing with a multiple-monitor system (98/ME/2000 only) the top-left corner of the screen will always be 0,0. Hmmm... That is, unless somebody has dragged the Tak Bar to the left edge of the screen. Here is some code for getting the "work area" of the desktop, i.e. everything except the Task Bar...

#INCLUDE "WIN32API.INC"
DIM Rect1 AS LOCAL RECT 
SystemParametersInfo %SPI_GETWORKAREA, BYVAL 0, VARPTR(Rect1), 0

Then the elements of Rect1 (Rect1.nLeft etc.) will contain the numbers you need.

OK Thanks

I thought I had known that, but I remember VB confusing me...
