Hola Theo (trmpluym)
Te mando un sample que hice hace
Tiempo para sustituir Inputbox
No es lo que tú buscas pero aquí está
Es una ventana CHILD que no deja moverse
Tiene un DEFINE TIMER Timer_1 y no se puede
Anular con las Teclas ( Control+F4 )
Solo sale con el Botón [Cancel] o con [Esc]
Un saludo

I changed the source file c:\hmg.3.4.3\SOURCE\h_controlmisc.prg with only four lines to add the possibility to center the InputWindow in the parent window.
The lines i added are line 3099 ...
Code: Select all
Local cParentWindowName:=ThisWindow.Name
... and 3876 to 3878
Code: Select all
If nRow < 0 .or. nCol < 0
CENTER WINDOW _InputWindow IN &cParentWindowName
EndIf
The orignal syntax is:
Code: Select all
InputWindow( [cTitle], acLabels, aValues, aFormats [, nRow] [, nCol] [, aBackColor] [, aToolTips] [, aHotKeys] [, aStyles] [, bCode] ) --> aResult
nRow and nCol are optional. When nRow or nCol are 0 the InputWindow is positioned in the center of the screen.
With the modification i made the functionality stays the same but when nRow of nCol is a negative number (<0) the InputWindow is positioned in the center of the parent form.
Maybe an idea to include in the next release?

Hi Claudio,
Sorry for holding on, but unfortunately i am not able to fix this problem my selves

Where you able to find the source of the bug ?
It seems to be related to the menu function.

Help ?
Anybody else knows how to solve this problem (see first message in this post) ? It looks very sloppy when the dialog messages pop-up in completely the wrong position after using a menu function.

Hola trmpluym
Si cambias por la función MSGYESNO(), funciona OK.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello trm Pluym
If you change the MSGYESNO () function works OK.
Code: Select all
Function EndProg()
IF MSGYESNO('Quit program ?','Quit?',MB_ICONQUESTION + MB_YESNO)
Return(.T.)
ENDIF
Return(.F.)

Thanks Andrés,
You are right the problematic behaviour does not occur using the MsgYesNo() function.
So the bug is narrowed down to the it MessageBoxTimeout() function !
I switched over to the MessageBoxTimeout because it is more flexible than MsgYesNo(). With the MessageBoxTimeout() function (when functioning correct) normally i can achieve the same functionality as the MsgYesNo() function but also the functionality of the MsgStop() function and the MsgRetryCancel() function.
But until Claudio who has programmed the MessageBoxTimeout() function ( see:
viewtopic.php?t=3273 ) or anybody else who understands the source finds a solution for the bug, i have to switch back to the older less powerfull MsgYesNo(), MsgStop(), .., .. functions.
But now i have a workaround and i can finish my program !
Many thanks again Andrés
