Here's a short script I use to center any window before showing it:
on placeWindow win
put the screenRect into scrRct
put (item 3 of scrRct - width of window win)/2 into tmpNum
put round(tmpNum) into myTopLeft
put (item 4 of scrRct - height of window win)/2 into tmpNum
put round(tmpNum) into item 2 of myTopLeft
set topLeft of window win to myTopLeft
end placeWindow

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?
