All of the examples and demos of dialogs terminate with an EXIT or a STOP. Until I rewrite all my menus, I'm terminating with a RUN back to my menu programs. To get the screen restored after the three variations of AutoSize (True, False, and not execucted), I needed to add a (CPL80) and a (ResetScreen) just before the RUN to get color and view size restored before the menu program does it's display. I copied this logic from QMONITOR. Is this good procedure or will the (ResetScreen) bite me later?
AutoSize = False appears to center the dialog in the view. There's a Position Property (True = center, False = x,y coordinates) in VS for the dialog. Could AutoSize = False be made to follow this property?
I prefer the dialog be displayed in the top left position (0,0). That seems to suit the large range of video and CWFONT settings my customers use.
