I have a dual monitor setup, and I have my VFP IDE window streeeeeetched
across both monitors. I have a few tools that I use from my IDE, and one of
them throws up a native FoxPro MessageBox(), but it appears in the center of
my *right* monitor, rather than centered across the entire window span, as
do all other MessageBox() 'es I've seen.
I cannot replicate this behavior from the Command Window, as each time I try
it, it appears centered across the overall window, as expected.
So I'm curious how the calling code (from the tool I'm using, which I have
not studied yet), could be causing the MessageBox() to appear farther off
the right like it is? I am not aware of any settings or flags that allow one
to specify where the dialog appears.
What's happening here?

Matt,
You can't control it natively under VFP unfortunately .... unless you use the coding I posted onto Ed's Profox board.
This gets a handle on the window and moves it to wherever you want.
Just looked and it doesn't seem to be there ... or did I not post it ... Mmmmmm!
Anyway, emailed it direct to you so check email
Dave

So, since I am seeing the dialog appear out of its normal position, VFP has
gotten confused by something, like the way I've stretched out my IDE window
to 3200 pixels wide?
