Still trying to get my Extended Windows just right. So I went back to windemo.ibs to take another look. I'm trying to use a child window with no caption. I want the window to align underneath the data that's being edited. The row increments down the screen based on the transaction selected for editing. The screen is 90x32. I thought I had everything just right. See GIP-XP. However, the child window doesn't align on Win2K or Win98. See GIP-2K and GIP-98. Nor does it stay aligned in XP when I resize the window to less than full screen. See GIP-XP-2.
The 2K and 98 screens are from a customer (Comet 2002). The XP's are from my office (Comet 2004). The background at the top of the parent screen starts at 0,0. I can see a differing left margin on the four parent screens. So, to me, it appears that the child screen isn't aligning to the parent's "adjusted" left margin.
I'm using the following settings.
!-------------------- Create Extended Window -----------------------!
LET BR = 3 ! BOTTOM ROW OF WINDOW
LET CW = 80 ! WIDTH IN COLUMNS
LET Flags = 0 ! modeless
LET Style = 2 + 64 ! child, no caption, vis
LET HI = 3 ! Column
LET VI = Y + 2 ! Row
LET Caption$ = ""
PRINT (CreateWindowEx = HI, VI, CW, BR, Style, Flags, Caption$)
INPUT WindowHandle$
