OT: Form position poMainFormCenter |
Mon, Aug 13 2007 12:21 PM | Permanent Link |
Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | A simple problem no doubt...
If I set position to poMainFormCenter at design time, it always gets reset to poDesigned by the end of FormCreate at run-time. The only way I can get poMainFormCenter is to set it at run time in FormActivate. What simple thing am I missing? Jon |

Using D6 and D2006 I use poMainFormCentre on a number of my forms and don't have a problem. I presume you've tried tracing through the FormCreate event to see if you can spot the guilty bit of code? Roy Lambert |

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | Roy,
I'm using D2006... I set a watch and it's poMainFormCentre until the first line of FormActivate. I even created a 2 form dummy program so there's no extra code... I'm baffled!

Just tried here with a two form app. Form1 has a button calling form2.showmodal I've tried it with with having both forms autocreated and haveing form1 autocreated with form2 being created by form1. In both cases it works as expected with form2 being displayed in the middle of form1. If you want to email me your test app I'll give it a go here and see what happens. Roy Lambert |

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | Roy,
Thanks Roy... I may just take you up on that. Meanwhile, I'll look for some foolish setting... I am wondering if I'm up to date with my Delhi service packs... that maybe it's an issue that's been fixed.

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | Roy,
A further follow up 1. yes it works at run-time providing you recreate the form each time. 2. stepping through the code still gives what appears to be false information when it arrives at FormActivate (says it's poDesign) The original problem surfaced because I was not releasing and re-creating the form... in trying to find the problem I was mislead by the value assigned to form.position. Thanks for your input.

I don't want to mislead but it worked fine for me when I allowed the app to autocreate the form and just repeatedly called it. Roy Lambert |

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | But did you move the master form and click to create the sub-form?

>But did you move the master form and click to create the sub-form? I have now Autocreated secondary form: Moving the main form doesn't seem to do anything Moving the secondary form means on the next click the secondary form appears at the position I moved it to Manually created secondary form Fine The motto is create your forms when needed and then zap em so they're fresh next time.

Jon Lloyd Duerdoth | That's what I learned too!
