I wonder whether you list members would be interested to have slightly modified ask- and answer-dialogs with the new version of the IDE that allow placing these dialogs anywhere on the screen or relative to the stack they are launched from.
Such a minor change would add flexibility to the dialogs, and it is a feature some Metacard and Revolution users had asked for in the past.
See my stack "Place Dialogs" on <http://www.sanke.org> , English version, page "Tools and Samples for Development"; the stack contains examples and information.
All that is needed are two script lines added before the end of the preopenstack handlers:
" if the NewLoc of this stack is not empty then set the loc of this stack to the NewLoc of this stack
set the NewLoc of this stack to empty "
The stacks can be used as usual if no NewLoc property is set.
Line 2 of the script makes sure to restore the default behavior of the dialogs the next time they are opened without a specified "NewLoc".
Thank you for your willingness to contribute. Scott Rossi has already offered to work on the Ask and Answer dialogs -- maybe the two of you could work out those enhancements?
Doesn't Rev provide support for specifying the loc of those dialogs? If so, can we use their syntax?
I have no objection to this change. But I am not clear why we need it; doesn't this do the same thing:
set the loc of stack "answer dialog" to myloc
It is only a single line, which is the same amount of space it would take to set a stack property. Am I missing something?
